Other: Vintage Bulova Deep Sea Chronograph models have been consistently rising in value and popularity in recent years (and for obvious reasons). Simply put, it's hard to beat a super cool, high-quality vintage chronograph like this for the money. The lightly-faded "ghost" bezel on this example is particularly special and compliments the matte blue dial perfectly. The textured dial actually reminds us of some nicely-worn vintage denim. The acrylic super-dome crystal screams vintage and at 38mm, this watch wears extremely well on the wrist!
