Bought this a few weeks ago. Got number 0043. Very Pleased
I was very happy to finally purchase this watch. I love the historic tie this watch has although it was never actually put into production. It's feels great while wearing it and the look is different enough that I get lots of questions about what it is.
It was hard to pass up the limited edition version of this watch. Didn't even know Bulova made this piece until reading an article in Hodinkee about collecting vintage Fifty Fathoms. A vintage FF is way above my pain tolerance for a vintage piece but found out Bulova put their prototype from the late 50's into production & I followed the bread crumbs. With it's history & honoring the original design, this is just a cool, vintage looking piece & everything about just works for me - so as I said, it was hard to pass this up & I'm glad I didn't. Bonus is it's also suitable for diving.
Great addition to my collection. The look is so original I see it's design cues in many so called "new" releases. I found a variety of 16 mil straps that work well. It's a joy to wear. Thanks Bulova!
