Commodore works for me, and that is one crisp example!

This is a wonderful example Ken, it cleaned up nicely. I note the seconds numbers on the dial, we don't see this very often on Bulova dials. I think they nail the ID straight down. Now on the non red sweep......just kidding.

Thanks, as for the red second hand I noticed that all of the other handful of Commodore examples of this style already in the database do not have the red hand; I like the contrast of the red hand on some models, but the yellow works well on this watch.
