r/bulova

Hello all. I desperately need some opinions as to whether a watch I just “won at auction” is authentic or not. It’s the Bulova Precisionist 96B158. There are red flags such as the tuning fork logo on the dial, the lack of 262 KHz printed on the dial and the model reference number actually printed on the dial. I’ve scoured the internet and the only one I can find that is similar in appearance is in question as well. So, is it a fake or am I worried for nothing? Any thoughts, help, opinions would be greatly appreciated.

First time with the LP on a NATO strap and I kinda dig it.

I’m curious if anyone knows more about my late grandfather’s watch. Year it was made, model, any interesting facts, anything really. The case has the numbers 341274 engraved with a 14kt gold note. The bracelet appears to be plated gold and is in rough condition. There are numbers on the inside of the bracelet but I can’t make all of them out. It ends in 6476. My dad thinks it’s from possibly 1943-44 but he isn’t positive.

Got this Watch for $48 off eBay a year ago. It’s a little bit tight on the wrist, but it was sold to me as it is. Does anyone know where I could possibly find links for this bracelet so I can make it a little more comfortable? I really enjoy it and I think it’s quite cool. Just a little bit too tight on the wrist. Would love to get peoples feedback on it as as well as any comments or thoughts thank you.

Just picked this up recently. An amazing watch. The sweep and accuracy really is something else.

I am somewhat considering removing the cyclops. Any of you do that with your Sevilles and have any comment/tips?

Super Seville 96B439

Been lurking for a while and finally picked one up. Really happy they put out this 39mm version of the Surveyor open-heart to fit my small wrist.

What’s everyone think

While I wait on my Uncle Straps bracelet, I wanted to give my Sea Hunter a more vintage look. What do you guys think?

Something about this color way just kept drawing me back to it so I finally grabbed one. Loving it so far. Can tell this will get a lot of wrist time.

My first Bulova (BVA series 96a118) purchased from a local pawn shop for $160 ($91 after tax and trade!)

Love the OEM bracelet, but thought this piece deserved a little color compliment.

Which bracelet do you like best? I'm leaning towards the leather.

it is a wind up and it is bulova it was passed down to me from my grandfather when he died it has a Kreisler bracelet

Love this watch. So much history, so much fun, now I have it on a curved end rubber strap, I think it looks so good (the rather chunky bracelet it came with just isn't my style at all!)

Absolutely in love.
