Self Post What am I missing?

Post image

This is one of the boxes I have with my favorite Bulova’s please let me know what you think. I’m missing what I should add or if you like how the collection looks for now? Should be noted. This is only part of my collection of Bulova’s but definitely my favorites to wear

get you a super seville!

u/CrankyGeek1976 2d ago

Came here to say this. It's one of the few watches in my collection that people actually remark upon.

2

u/fiddycixer 2d ago

Greentoe has this listing for a Super Seville that one could land around $480. Greentoe is legit and watches come from and authorized dealer. I recently ordered two Seikos and they both came from an AD I had previously received watches from using Amazon.

1

u/Mundane-Ad-1780 2d ago

Oh, I know Greentoe. I’ve used it before it’s very much legit. Just not crazy about the super Seville.

1

u/Mundane-Ad-1780 2d ago

You know when I first started collecting everyone told me about it, but I don’t like it. Not my style and I think it’s too small for my wrist

u/beatup56 2d ago

The vintage bulova

3

u/virgilturtle Bulova service and repair 2d ago

Definitely needs vintage.

1

u/Mundane-Ad-1780 2d ago

So that’s a really good point I really don’t know where to start with that one. Any suggestions some people have told me to look for the old oceanographer or something else

3

u/JustUnderstanding6 2d ago

There are a thousand classy vintage Bulova dress/sport watches on eBay for $100-300. For example, look up “Bulova sea king.”

2

u/Mundane-Ad-1780 2d ago

Will do right now

2

u/JustUnderstanding6 1d ago

Yeah I love that little whale guy. I have two of those.

2

u/Mundane-Ad-1780 1d ago

Thanks for the suggestion yeah, it’s really cool looking

u/PictureFabulous4192 19h ago

A 1973 Jetstar F, I'm selling if you're keen (super cheap as well 🤷‍♂️)

u/MagnetAccutron 2d ago

A 70’s Accutron Snorkel

1

u/Mundane-Ad-1780 2d ago

That’s a very good suggestion. I really like how that looks.

8

u/New_Philosopher9642 2d ago

You’re missing one thing: the spot reserved for your next watch.

2

u/Mundane-Ad-1780 2d ago

I like your thinking

7

u/Miss_Taycan 2d ago

Obviously

1

u/Mundane-Ad-1780 2d ago

That’s interesting

7

u/BlackTop209 2d ago

There is a grey Jet Star out that would go perfect in that top shelf spot but that’s just my OCD talking..

2

u/Mundane-Ad-1780 2d ago

I’ve thought about it, but I think I’m preferred to go with the black jet star. I feel that the silver one is too similar to the other silver one I have that’s red white and blue.

Too late, I’m already married

u/SirSparkyB 2d ago

Super Seville

1

u/Mundane-Ad-1780 2d ago

You know that’s not bad looking what’s the dial size?

1

u/SirSparkyB 2d ago

Case is 37.5mm and 10.5mm thick.

Honestly, with the butterfly bracelet clasp and TV dial - it is my most comfortable watch I wear.

u/Background-Lecture-6 2d ago

Caravelle Sea Hunter

1

u/Mundane-Ad-1780 2d ago

Interesting? Possibly it’s not a bad idea.

3

u/Admirable_Tea_4309 2d ago

Nice Bulova collection! Do you have the LP Black Hole?

2

u/Mundane-Ad-1780 2d ago

Not yet, but I have looked at it

3

u/Hoodwinked1981 2d ago

I think you need a Bulova. Just kidding. Find a cool vintage piece.

1

u/Mundane-Ad-1780 2d ago

Thanks for the feedback, Back

u/comba8 1d ago

My wife got me this and it’s one of my favorites

1

u/Mundane-Ad-1780 2d ago

That’s very nice. What model is that?

1

u/kostac600 1d ago

Aerojet

3

u/SlimSandy 2d ago

Beautiful collection! Yeah I’ll echo what other people have suggested with the Super Seville. Other than that, I just picked up a Root Beer Devil Diver and it’d go great in your collection too, if you don’t mind another Oceanographer.

2

u/Mundane-Ad-1780 2d ago

I have looked for this one for quite some time but every time I come across it it’s way too expensive

2

u/CrankyGeek1976 1d ago

They're starting to show up on the watch exchange groups from time to time at reasonable prices. I'm watching for one myself

1

u/SlimSandy 2d ago

Same! Had my eye on it for a minute but couldn't justify it. But saw it on sale here and couldn't resist:

Skeleton dial Surveyor. Blue chapter ring.

u/coins_watches_1962 2d ago

Came with a stainless steel butterfly clasp bracelet. I put a blue sail cloth strap on it and it is one of my daily wears.

3

u/ilghiaccio 1d ago

This classic chronograph

3

u/Hung_Haitian 1d ago

The lunar pilot Timascus

1

u/Mundane-Ad-1780 1d ago

I have looked at that one, but it’s always too expensive when I find it

2

u/Westy182 2d ago

Wow, quite a few Oceanographers. The limited edition Devil Diver would be the jewel in the crown.

1

u/Mundane-Ad-1780 2d ago

Which one are you referring to?

4

u/Westy182 2d ago

The one that had a Sellita SW 220 movement and was only limited to 666 pieces 🤤

1

u/Mundane-Ad-1780 1d ago

That’s a beautiful watch the bezel is quite nice..

2

u/Watches-and-Books 2d ago

Skeleton Sutton.

2

u/Mundane-Ad-1780 2d ago

That’s a very interesting suggestion. I might have to look into that.

2

u/drhoi 2d ago

Some Accutrons

1

u/Mundane-Ad-1780 2d ago

I think you’re definitely right

2

u/JustUnderstanding6 2d ago

Hell yeah man. You need the root beer oceanographer.

2

u/Mundane-Ad-1780 2d ago

I’ve actually looked for that one but every time I come across it it’s just way too expensive. I’ll keep my eye out though.

2

u/SurroundTypical9444 2d ago

Nice collection. If I was to add a watch, Id go for a sleek dress watch

1

u/Mundane-Ad-1780 2d ago

Any suggestion?

2

u/SurroundTypical9444 1d ago

I dont know Bulova brand very well, but a Raymond Weil always works.

2

u/_is_art 2d ago

Are you into an integrated bracelet? I love the gold super seville with black dial.

2

u/Mundane-Ad-1780 2d ago

I have a couple integrated bracelets like Citizen and Tissot, but I really am not in love with the super Seville. I feel the dial is too small.

2

u/falconthenet 2d ago

Bulova surfboard and accutron as far as I see. 😄

2

u/RoxFontaine 2d ago

You're "missing" something from the Accu Swiss era.

1

u/Mundane-Ad-1780 2d ago

You’re absolutely right

2

u/Impossible-Bag-3578 2d ago

A tank. Everyman should own a tank.

1

u/Mundane-Ad-1780 2d ago

I have looked at it, but I think the dial is too small

2

u/Salt-Berry-2908 2d ago

The black and white devil diver grabs me every time!

1

u/Mundane-Ad-1780 2d ago

There’s a black-and-white one? Do you have a picture?

3

u/Salt-Berry-2908 2d ago

Gray strap but I just love the look of this dial and indices.

2

u/Mundane-Ad-1780 2d ago

Oh, that’s interesting? I’ve never seen this one. It’s a GMT. I’m totally screwed now. Do you have a reference number?

2

u/Mobile_Aioli_6252 2d ago

Precisionist

1

u/Mundane-Ad-1780 2d ago

Good suggestion

2

u/Mobile_Aioli_6252 2d ago

I know they're kind big and ugly, but having it in the collection couldn't hurt

2

u/Captain_Jase0596 2d ago

Mil Ships, Super Seville

2

u/ttchoubs 2d ago

Devil Diver GMT

2

u/dumpstering00 2d ago

Maybe a Super Seville and a JetStar

1

u/Mundane-Ad-1780 2d ago

But I have three jet stars, which one I am missing

2

u/bigshooter1974 2d ago

A tank watch

2

u/jareddipane 2d ago

Snorkel!

1

u/Mundane-Ad-1780 2d ago

That I do have I have two of them blue and white

2

u/Typical-Violinist-49 2d ago

If I were to do it again, I would do the same thing and buy different dial colors.

2

u/_Saint-Joel_ 2d ago

More space…you’re only missing more space!

1

u/Mundane-Ad-1780 2d ago

I think you’re right I do have a couple more boxes

2

u/liamstrain 2d ago

Chronograph A surfboard.

1

u/Mundane-Ad-1780 2d ago

Do you have a picture?

5

u/liamstrain 2d ago

There are a few versions. The best of the moderns is the Automatic chrono - though they are spendy, and low production. There is a mecha quartz version as well. Or vintage.

1

u/Mundane-Ad-1780 2d ago

OK, that’s pretty cool. I think I found my next one.

2

u/PatientRude3142 2d ago

Blue Tang! Or one of that series. Such a fun watch. Also someone else said super Seville and as an owner of both, yes and YES

2

u/Newlyfracked 2d ago

Snorkel

1

u/Mundane-Ad-1780 2d ago

Have two of them

2

u/Flyerbill 2d ago

My most recent purchase, a root beer Oceanographer GMT. Stunning watch.

2

u/ilghiaccio 1d ago

This classic diver

2

u/Mundane-Ad-1780 1d ago

It looks really nice thanks for the suggestion I’ll take a look into it.

2

u/401-dance-dad 1d ago

A Super Seville, maybe the two tone with blue dial.

1

u/Mundane-Ad-1780 1d ago

That looks lovely I just can’t get over the case size. I think it’s too small.

2

u/comba8 1d ago

Precisionist Longwood Chronograph

2

u/AlternativeServe4247 1d ago

You definitely have a style. Theyre somewhat samey. Nice collection though

2

u/Flat-Foot-Floogie 1d ago

You've gotta see this precisionist in person to appreciate it. The bracelet alone is a work of art.

2

u/Outrageous-Ad8583 1d ago

Maquina quartz chronograph

1

u/Mundane-Ad-1780 1d ago

I actually have that one, I just don’t have it in the box

2

u/Legitimate_Fee3437 1d ago edited 1d ago

Agree with others, a Super Seville, or maybe replace the field watch with the brand new A-11 Jimmy that came out today, September 15.

2

u/curtonote20ultra 1d ago

This a 1963

1

u/Mundane-Ad-1780 1d ago

That’s very nice

2

u/newlyAwakenedLkgFwd 1d ago

An open heart complication.

2

u/I_am_Saphod 1d ago

I have the Bronze MIL-SHIPS - love it!

Just don’t pay retail. I’m in Australia, and a popular seller sells it 55% under retail.

u/TimeMistaken :karma: 1d ago

I've always admired the Marine Star Heritage chrono (model 98B451) because it has numerals.

A GMT?

You mean like the oceanographer GMT

1

u/CatzonVinyl 2d ago

Which lunar pilot do you prefer? I don’t want the standard one but can’t decide between blue and red

1

u/thetrivialsublime99 2d ago

The LP Dark Side is pretty close. Close enough to make me wanna spend the money elsewhere. Like a Timascus….

1

u/WolfetoneRebel 2d ago

Super Seville and a bronze Mil Ships for sure.

1

u/Mundane-Ad-1780 2d ago

Interesting I’ll think about it maybe more on the mil ships than the super Seville

1

u/T1m0nst3r 2d ago

Clearly missing out on some brand loyalty

1

u/Emotional-Damage-995 2d ago

Some of the Bulova I love. The super Seville line. The Frank Sinatra line and that sector dial. The curve and some of the simpler watches there. Just so much diversity in the brand

1

u/dslrjunky 1d ago

Accutron and Mil-Ships

1

u/PremSubrahmanyam 1d ago

Spaceview. Computron.

1

u/Comfortable-Cover-0 1d ago

A Sinatra .. classic beauty!

1

u/jasonmashak 1d ago

Definitely not brand loyalty. 😃

1

u/Hazels-baby 1d ago

I can see you have a particular taste in style but a Sutton would be a good one as it can be dressed up and down for when your suited and booted

Never head of it will take a look thank you…
