Thommo82 1,397 Posted November 15, 2018 Today my Bulova Accutron ll Lobster arrived with some seriously slow shipping. Ordered my Certina two weeks after the Bulova and the Certina arrived half a week earlier, both coming from America. Anyway, just a couple quick teaser pics and to say that the sweep on the seconds hand of these Bulova’s is mesmerising. Hums along at 16 beats per second (if I remember correctly) and to the naked eye is as smooth as a two year old testicles. Quick lume shot for @McGilli. I’ll charge it up properly tomorrow and see how well she shines mate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McGilli 1 Posted November 15, 2018 @Thommo82 Last X-mas - which is when I saw my Seiko that I bought eventually - they had a Bulova that I really, really liked. The CURV chronograph. I'd never really seen Bulova watches before - but in person I really liked it but the Seiko won out... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have had to sell off 15 odd reps recently just to raise funds for my last 4 gens. Im a bargain hunter mate, if the watch ain’t at least half price it’s probably not within my budget Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
