The brand quickly established itself as a maker of high quality watches, and became fully ingrained in American culture - even producing the first ever television commercial. Known for models like their Devil Diver, Sea King, and the later Accutron models, Bulova is something of the un-sung hero of American watchmaking, and a treasure trove for a vintage collector.
Top Notch seller! I purchased a couple watches from the seller and every time it's a great experience. This time around the Postal Service decided to send my watch the long way it went through six states I believe before it got to California and it took probably about twice as long as it should have but I did receive it and it is perfect. Any other kind of packaging and it probably wouldn't have made it. This seller was very helpful throughout the whole process. Thank you so much!
The watch shipped quickly and with good packaging. This 60's Gruen is a pictured and as described. Overall the internal condition is what was important for me as it is being used as a donor. In that regard it seems to be in fairly good shape. The price just for the complete Gruen case and vintage acrylic crystal justifies this purchase. If they clean up, a spare set of hands is never a bad thing. Parts Preserve is an excellent seller that hasn't disapointed me.
Seller shipped quickly. Well packaged. Better shape than described, super happy with the purchase. USPS dropped the ball and lost the package for a bit. The seller responded promptly when I reached out to them, even though it wasn't their problem. They were willing to help as they could and when/if they could with USPS. Fortunately, it did not cone to that. Very happy with this seller!
