Why We Love This Watch

Look at that case design — I mean, there’s just something about a carved bezel and twisted lugs that’s almost hypnotizing. Pair that with a black dial, arabic numerals, and alpha hands? And it’s to die for. This Bulova 23J is a stunner! It dates all the way back to 1961, a time when Bulova had positioned itself as one of the top brands in the US. These watches typically went for a hundred dollars back then, while watches from Rolex and LeCoultre (which weren't as popular in the US) went for less! I’d say this watch is the definition of bang per buck.
