Any Bulova fans around?

*Bulova was founded and incorporated as the J. Bulova Company in 1875 by Joseph Bulova (1851 – November 18, 1936),[3] an immigrant from Bohemia. It was reincorporated under the name Bulova Watch Company in 1923, and became part of the Loews Corporation in 1979[4] and sold to Citizen at the end of 2007.[5]

In 1912, he launched his first plant dedicated entirely to the production of watches. Manufacturing watches at their factory in Biel (Switzerland), Bulova began a standardized mass production never seen in the world of watchmaking until then. In 1919, Joseph Bulova offered the first complete range of watches for men. The iconic visual style of his first popular advertising made its watches popular with the American public. But beyond the original style, precision and technological research also became an endless quest for Bulova. In 1920, he set up an observatory on the roof of a skyscraper to make measurements that would enable him to determine very precisely universal time.

Bulova established its operations in Woodside, New York, and Flushing, New York, where it made innovations in watchmaking, and developed a number of watchmaking tools. Its horological innovations included the Accutron watch, which used a resonating tuning fork as a means of regulating the time-keeping function.

Post photos if you have a vintage Bulova.

This was my father's from the 50s or 60s with a new strap.

The lug design is unique and the only one I've seen like it. The case is 14K. There is also a serial number which I know IDs the date although I forget the year off hand.

At the time these were being made they were popular dress watches prior to the advent of the Accutron tuning fork watches.

The first watch maker I ever met worked for Bulova , Mr. Hass. I particularly like the the late 60's early 70's "whale watches"
