    Which Bulova Looks Like This?




    There was an eBay auction for what I think was a Bulova, possibly Caravelle....But I'm fairly sure the dial read 666 and was a Bulova. It looked nigh on exactly the same as the 603A pictured. I've googled and searched and I can't find it.

    Would anyone here happen to know if I am right that it exists, or have I dreamt this! :)

    Back in the 70s - 80s Caravelle were sold as Bulova's less expensive sibling, same company but different price points.

    Nope, it literally looks like the Seiko. Lume plots and bezel are pretty much the exact same.

    Thank you for searching aswell! I've been doing it for about 2 days now! :)

    Isn’t it one of the quartz oceanographers from the point that it all got a bit desperate?

    I did start searching for oceanographer, Matt, but nowt matched..some got close to the look, though. I did wonder if that was the model or at least the name on the dial.

    Was this at a point where they just started copying styles a lot? I don't know much about Bulova or Caravelle, but I do like some of the models...and maybe could afford them seeing as Seiko is getting a little ridiculous.
