A vintage 1962 Bulova "Surf King" watch with an incredible patina, featuring a Swiss-made 17 jewel Bulova 11AF movement that has been inspected, fully serviced and timegrapher regulated to ensure accuracy.
When I saw the patina on this watch, I absolutely had to buy it. Officially a Surf King, it's a Space King as far as I'm concerned.
The polished stainless steel case (34.0mm excluding the crown) has minimal age wear. The Bulova logo and ever-so-Sixties indices are all easily legible from a distance and the luminous Alpha hands are a lovely reflective silver. The crystal has been hand ground, polished, and puts that incredible patina on full display. The crown has plenty of grip and the watch winds and sets easily.
The one-piece steel case is friction fitted into the bezel. Inside, the 11AF movement is clean, properly lubricated. During the overhaul, I replaced the two-piece stem and the mainspring. With a high amplitude, the watch keeps time with great accuracy. The Surf King comes on a very unique black leather Bunt-type slip on bracelet. It's very comfortable and looks phenomenal on the watch! It's hard for me to let this one go but I'm certain it is going to make one sci-fi fan very happy indeed!
Please note that all mechanical watches, including automatics, require occasional winding in order to function properly. The watch will be well packaged and shipped out within one business day and tracking information is always included. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask prior to purchase and I'll reply promptly. Thank you for looking and have a great day!
