This one just in...most watches will give me that initial "yes!" upon unboxing. This watch, while not terrible, just did not give me that new and exciting feeling.

I purchased a Bulova Mil-W-3818A at a military show and upon opening the caseback I found what appears to be 2 date codes on the 15 jewel 10BNCH movement. I see the usual small Bulova date code of m2 but there is also an M8 stamp. I have never seen a Bulova with 2 different date codes on the same part of the movement. Any input is appreciated ..read more
