Continuing the 1970's Vintage Theme . . . 1974 Bulova Caravelle 200m Diver(Bulova puts a year code on the watch back and on the movement inside.) Yes, that's a Seiko Monster bracelet. It fit the hooded lugs perfectly; replaced the original Seiko clasp with an identical "sterile" one without any brand marks. Typical of divers from its era, the bezel is bi-directional friction without any detents. Very nice vintage diver, John! The bracelet works great with it. I put a blue and white Barton NATO on the 5.

Titanium should be cool, but it looks hot with all the spicy peppers. Outstanding Caravelle, looks like a million. Seems like every day is a summer Dog Day. Usually it's cooler at the park with a cool breeze coming off the water. But yesterday nothing. Going with titanium today. Bob

That Orca has such a cool and unique design. The dial looks like the deep blue itself. Excellent looking vintage Caravelle! I love mine, but no more room in tha boxes, so keeping my self done promise: every watch that is in rotation, which is in the box deserves its own place in the box. Is the place taken, alas it's selling time if the new one is more in demand on the wrist...
Still extremely hot! There were some clouds until noon keeping the temperature below 30ºc but clouds have been burned away and back to the new normal of the heatwave.... Sitting here behind my desk Hackintosh with my arms adhesive on the table top... Needed another light weight watch...

Although visually “heavy”, that watch must feel light. Love that Orca look! Yes, it's hardly anything heavier then the Orient.
