Interpreting Vintage Catalog Ads
06/29/2012 11:11
A recent post on another site made me realize that some people do not understand how to interpret certain aspects of vintage third-party catalog ads, and that lack of understanding can, and has, led to significant errors in making model identifications. So, I thought a few words on the...
Opinions Are Not Facts

A new thread on another watch site last week reminded me of just how important good research is, and how misleading and damaging inept research and unsupported opinions can be. The post was started by someone who holds himself out to be an expert in all things Bulova. He was writing...
Hall of Fame!

Many thanks to Collectors Weekly for listing my site on its Bulova page and in its Hall of Fame. I have learned a lot from reading the information made available through that site, and I am very proud to now be one of the go-to resources. I hope others will find my site to be a worthy...
Bulova Stop Watch

I usually don't collect outside the wristwatch arena, but I couldn't resist this cool thing. It's fully signed, in its original box, and works like a charm. It will be a part of my 1960s collection, if I ever manage to get those loaded. The 19EB 17J movement is one I haven't...

Love those 1920s Models

Ladies' Sports Models

I have intentionally stayed away from the ladies' models, not because they aren't beautiful--they most certainly are!--but rather because I wanted to limit my focus and the scope of my collection. However, of late, a few ladies' models have found their way into my collection. Most...

I just nabbed this sweet watch last night for an amazingly low price. I thought I'd have to put up a fight, but, surprisingly, few buyers appeared to realize its rarity. I've only seen this model once before, in the possession of a fellow collector. He had it labeled as a...
