Background

  • Really cool grey “degrade” dial in a gold-plated cushion case with “milgrain” work on the top of the case.
  • Picked up in late 2023 (running) and I added the Rios croc pattern leather strap (XL, about ~$85).
  • 1973 case (~40mm), "B" crown, with case back engraving for confirmation on 1978 10 30 (did this watch sit for 4 years? Did Nonna and Papa pick up from a pawn shop and regift it?).
  • 1974 Bulova Swiss 11A0ACD automatic movement.
    • Date quick change on push
  • I like it, but I’m not in love with it and it a needs a service.
    • Over to you, a cheap project.
    • Service history unknown, timegrapher photos below (see 2nd post).
  • Identified by the good folks at mybuolva.com as a Calendial “E”

Price & Logistics:
$225 + shipping

Payment by etransfer or cash.

Happy to ship at buyer's expense using Canada Post, tracked and full value insured. Will consider F2F in specific parts of Toronto (schlepping around this place is a PITA).

I'm new to CWC with one purchase transaction (user name revised so its more easily searchable for feedback, thanks to Bobby for the steer on that) and I've sold 50+ watches and parts on eBay with 100% positive feedback.
