Description: Up for Buy it Now or Best Offer is a super rare piece of Bulova history: a1950's Bulova Duo Wind automatic (the first automatic presented by the Bulova watch company) in a round 10K yellow gold-filled fancy case. The watch features a Butler-style cream dial (with very light foxing) in excellent condition, gold hands, gold arrow indices and gold imprinted Arabic numerals, a black printed track calibrated at 5 second intervals, and the words Bulova (in applied gilt) and Automatic. The 17-jewel engine, Bulova signed automatic movement is based on the Swiss Felsa 415 Bidynator (one of my personal favorite Swiss calibres) with a rotor winding in both directions (hence, the name Duo Wind). It is keeping very good time, winds and sets correctly. The 10K gold gilt heavy case features handsome double curved lugs and a clean stainless steel snap back (marked Bulova LO) that closes tightly. The watch comes with a new acrylic crystal and a black leather Champion strap measuring 8 inches in length. A very cool timepiece. Shipping is by U.S. Postal Service small Priority box with initial counter scan and receipt, full insurance, online tracking and signature confirmation. Overseas shipping is only by the eBay Global Shipping Program. Good luck! FEEDBACK: I am a longtime eBay seller of mostly wristwatches, with 1600-plus positive feedbacks and no negative feedback. I am also a longtime member of the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors. I describe my items as accurately as is possible. All wristwatches will need servicing at regular intervals. If I know the service history, I will indicate it in the description. I would be happy to answer questions about any sale item. Obviously I highly value my customers so please contact me if you have any issue after you receive your item and I will try to resolve it to the satisfaction of both parties. I also would appreciate your positive feedback. If there is an issue, again, please contact me first before leaving any negative feedback. Communication is the key to everyone being happy with their sale and purchase! Thank you! SHIPPING: I ship within 24 hours of receiving your payment. I accept payments only through the eBay payment system and buyers have three days to pay. My items are very carefully packed and shipped via U.S. Postal Service Priority Mail with insurance and signature confirmation. My watches come from a nonsmoking household. I DO NOT SHIP OVERSEAS EXCEPT THROUGH THE EBAY GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAM; NOR DOES THE USE OF PRIORITY MAIL ALLOW ME TO SHIP TO A U.S. P.O. BOX. ALL SHIPPING ADDRESSES WILL BE VERIFIED BEFORE SHIPPING. IMPORTANT NOTE TO BUYERS: I do not sell to buyers with zero or low feedback. I am sorry this is the case, but I have had a number of sales that were canceled because some low or zero feedback buyers did not follow through on their commitment to me and/or follow the related eBay purchasing rules and the contractual agreement.
