WE might just be the largest trove of information out there on Bulova's baring some old guys in nursing homes with stuff in their storage.

Spoke with a very helpful older lady at Bulova Headquarters in NYC today on the telephone and she said that any and all records over 25-30 years old are GONE!!  Apparently they moved to smaller offices back then and just got rid of all the old archives.  Like... trashbin type got rid of...  They have nothing over 30 years old stored anywhere.
