I love vintage watches. I just bought this one:
1949 Bulova Shoreham
I love the engraved case- the engraving on this one is still really sharp and clean.
I believe it must have been serviced recently, as it's running extremely well.
If you wanted one of these new, it would have set you back roughly $740 in today's money!
It's small- but eminently wearable on my 7" wrist. 25.5mm diameter, 38mm lug to lug, 9mm thick, and 15mm (gross) lug width. Right now it's on a Hirsch embossed croc strap.
Thanks for reading!
