    Beautiful and very rare, or just crazy

    After a few weeks of haggling it arrived today. I already have several 70s jump hour watches, but this something very special. It's a Buler, in lovely condition, and still has the original patent leather strap. It works and keeps reasonable time. Your going to hate or love it. I must be honest, I bought it with the purpose of eventually making a small profit, but to be honest I am not sure if I can ever be separated from it. What's more, I have been unable to find another like it anywhere on the internet, and am wondering if it is now totally unique.

    I'm really not sure about Jump Hours, but that didn't stop me buying one from eBay yesterday

    I thought maybe it was about time to add one to my collection.

    I like it! It almost has the look of a modern Ventura or Braun digital about it.
    I only have one mechanical digital, this Ajanta, I haven't seen it in years and your post prompted me to dig it out, I need a new strap for it though.

    Hi, it's very nice. Does that have a Baumgartner movement? I guess as there is no dial as such, it's easy to make a lot of different, maybe unique, cases.

    As one as I posted on my thread, I also own a few more. The first being a Smiths, which is actually in the post. Smiths jump hour watches are pretty rare. The second is a Lucerne. This is a new old stock watch in perfect working order, which I bought for a song. The third one is a Hudson instalie, so called because it has a light powered by it's own battery. All watches are hand wound, 70s and original. I really really wand a Sicura jump hour, but as yet I haven't found one I can afford

    I just bought an Instalite too!



    Looks like the same model/colour as TockTick's.

    I could do with finding a strap or bracelet for this...

    You're right, but the cases are fantastic to look at. The seventies wasn't all bad
