with a 1983 Bulova Super Seville - ETA 2834-2 AutomaticThis one seriously irked the famous Swiss luxury watch company - to the extent Bulova changed it in later models to make it look just enough different that it wasn't a shameless clone. Reto used to have a couple of the latter ones for sale on his PMWC sales site, which is where I bought this (from Reto) in June 2006. It was one of the numerous NOS he scrounged up in the Far East. Dated it by pulling opening the back and looking at the Bulova date code inside the watch (P3). Turned out to be older than I had thought. That's certainly a Rolova!  But everyone does it. It is a great looking watch.  Put the Islander on a black silicone strap. It looks great in black! I like the nice sharp lugs. I really want an Isophrane to put on it, but I don't know about spending $130 on a strap. Anybody know of a cheaper alternative? Wow, the black really brings out the dial colour! |

Nice Sandoz, Kent!  I've read a lot about climbing Everst and other eight-thousanders. It's insane and I refuse to consider people who do it anything other than fools. And anyone who dies doing it gets what they deserve. Stay down where there's oxygen and use your resources to help someone. Arrogant jerks. Not that I have any strong feeling about the subject.  |

I think that's one of the reasons I chose the yellow dial. Yellow watches on black straps look great, in my opinion. |

I like it best on that strap, Chris. Which is weird, because the other strap should be better according to my usual metrics.  |

Yes and no. I put that strap on 2 weeks ago. I was just seeing if I was committed to the undersized 18mm width.  |
