My dad's 1961 Bulova restoration
My mom bought my dad a Bulova for an engagement gift in 1962. My dad was a mechanic and the watch sat in a drawer for nearly 30 years. I took it a few years ago not really sure what I was going to do with it. I remember when I was a kid picking the watch up and hearing the rotor move then watching it start up. This watch is what made me fall in love with automatic watches! A few months ago I took it to my watchmaker and had him restore it. Dial refinish, relume, new crystal and strap. I was able to give the watch to my parents this past week. I think it turned out great! Like their love for each other this meager little Bulova has stood the test of time!
