Watch Description

Bulova Air Warden in military themed display case. Watch case is in nice condition, dial needs refinish. Hands do not appear to be a match. Watch winds, sets and runs. Period Ensign bracelet has substantial gold loss as pictured but really does look nice on the watch. Display case is in good condition for age. Sticker in case is from Kirkpatrick's Jewelers in Butler, Pa.

Now that's what we call patina.  Sure you want to re-dial, Mr. NOS?

And we wonder whats wrong today...when is the last time you bought something with packaging like that ???? Simple yet fitting for the times, rugged yet refined, and cool to boot.

NICE SNIPE, GEOFF!

Herafter are two (related) model ads, Jerin found... I have this same watch. (Philip recently had redone.)

Case matches that of the Air warden. White dial variant?

Works for me!

I've seen this Dial variant and the Minute Hand is good!

'AIR WARDEN'.

I don't suppose the $29.75 advertised price is still valid....

No, I think I'd pass on that one......wouldn't it be nice though, to go back, maybe pick up a handful of them?

That box is not for that watch....the price sticker says 17 Jewels...the watch is 15 Jewels. It's a woman's watch box.
