After 36 years, its alive again!!!

[Spaceview M2]

My grandfathers Bulova Spaceview has been sitting in a box since 1976. It was given to me recently and had it checked out and tweaked. I remember him wearing it as a boy so its a family keepsake. Runs like a champ and still looks good after all these years. I plan on wearing it when I can. I have only recently been 'learning' about these watches so I am looking forward to learning alot via this forum. I went from restoring muscle-cars to starting to collect watches. Much easier on the back and shoulders...

Holy Cow, that's a nice one, you got lucky ! It even has the coffin link bracelet. I am surprised by your sign in name of M2 I would have guessed that watch would be an M3.
I share your love of muscle cars. I did a body off the frame restoration of a totally original 1966 Chevelle SS 396 convertible and that was a learning experience. I learned to never do that again.
Do you intend to collect any particular type of watch ?

I really don't have any one watch I am collecting. I have the Spaceview which is a family keep-sack along with a new Bulova, one older LCD Seiko and a new one and an old Hamilton Railway Pocketwatch. I collect coins also. My last muscle car restoration was a 1970 Plymouth GTX 440 6 barrel (Purple). Alot of work!!!!! Its in Sweden now. I am getting too old to crawl under cars anymore. I just sold a 2007 Roush Redfire 427R Mustang. It just sat too much in the garage. Love my hobbies but they are ever changing. You a pilot? I am an commercial aircraft mechanic.

That is a beautiful watch! What a great thing to have to remember your Grandfather.

Nice Spaceview. If it is M2 then it is a first year example.

Yes it is an M2. The guy that tweaked it for me said it looks to be all original and in great shape. I have tried to take a pic of the back (without glare) with both my camera and cell phone. None has turned up a good pic yet. I wasn't aware that M2's were that rare till I started researching abit. I sure love that 'hum'. It hasn't done that since 1976 when my grandfather died. Been siiting in a watch box at my dad's home until he told me to have it recently and i sent it out to get 'tweaked recently'. Got it back today.
