High frequency day: 36000 bph. 

Now, that's a bad boy watch!

1947 NOS Ambassador 'C'.

Actually, the case came without the movement so the movement isn't NOS, but she sure is pretty.

As  I kid, I'd watch Godzilla stomping over buildings and cars and I'd think to myself: Tokyo is a really dangerous place to live... . Cool watch!!

This is such an odd Bulova. Off of the top of my head the only other mechanical Bulova that I can think of that has the 'Bulova' logo as an hour marker is the Golden Clipper 'J' (there must be others), one of my favorite dials. And then it has a solitary diamond, which is not unusual with Bulova, but paired with the 'Bulova' hour marker, that only leaves two quarter hour markers, and I can't think of another Bulova that has only two hour markers like that. You do you Bulova, no conformity here!

I agree, very minimalist dial,  but then the diamond. The 1973 R has a black dial and gold case and is similar in layout. But on the MyBulova site there really is nothing else like it...

Updated photos with new leather strap and original signed buckle. I like the minimalist strap - plain back with black thread...
