Additional Information: 

Another beautiful example of this still unknown Bulova. All watches need a name (at least at my house they do). I call this one "Not a Templar", mostly because it's not, partly because there have been several discussions about this case style and everyone agrees that it is "NOT A TEMPLAR". Period Gemex solid strap type bracelet that is slightly more comfortable to wear than it looks (empahsis on 'slightly')

Nice

I like these old bands.  How they look.  I don't like how they wear, and their survivorship makes them harder to find than the watch on which they were attached.  I'v bought several watches to see what the band looks like in person, while hoping the case/movement are at least attached to the band when it arrives.  The hard part for me is putting the case/mvnt in my "parts" stack and not having delusions about repair and restoration....   When it arrives, I convienently forget that I bought it for the band.
