Title: Fantastic Bulova Oceanographer "M" 666 ft Snorkel w/Original Bracelet Serviced Description: NEARMINT condition. This has been in my collection for some time now. I found it with the bracelet attached and have an old ad which shows this bracelet on this watch. The condition is pretty sweet although Wayne has buffed it. That isn't easy to do, if you want to put the correct finish back in place. The polished back, sides and lug tops remain as they were, while the outside portion of the back and the area outside the bezel have Wayne's satin finish re-applied, by hand. He really did a good job and spent a lot of time on it. The case wasn't scuffed up or scratched much but it really looks almost like new now. And the bracelet is same except Wayne didn't touch it. All brushed. It is also large enough for my 7 and 1/2 inch wrist which is rare for vintage watch bracelets. The Bulova 11BLACD automatic movement is in fine condition and has been fully serviced, oiled and timed by Wayne and carries a one year service warranty. The deep ocean blue original dial is to die for even though my pics didn't bring that feature out much. It is perfect as are the luminescent indices (tritium), the hands including the lum inside them and the Bakelite red and blue bezel. It does have some faint scuffs but no cracks which is what happens on many. Signed crown is not a screw down crown. Original thick beveled acrylic crystal with date window magnifier. Case number 2969. Dated M9 or 1969 on the back. PS one is able to use a strap instead of the bracelet and I'll take off some $ if you don't want it. The price may be a bit high for our items which usually sell fast but I love the watch and it took me a long time to find one in this condition. Measures 39 mm wide (not including the crown) x 45 mm long x 12 mm thick. {$475} Item #6017 SOLD
