    Default Something old is new again.

    Today, I got back my father's 1960 Bulova from being restored. I'm quite happy with the restoration. I picked out a black deBeer wild alligator grain strap.

    Enjoy the pics!

    AFTER









    My bad photography doesn't show how spectacular this watch really looks. I'll have to work on that.

    Cool watch, cool strap. Pure class all around!
    Why is the third hand on the watch called the second hand?

    Well worth the restoration . Excellent result, and the strap finishes it beautifully.
