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 high-quality vintage chronograph with a great look like this for the money. The faded "ghost" bezel on this example is super cool and compliments the matte blue dial perfectly. Speaking of the dial, it has picked up some "tropical" brown hues over the years and the texture reminds us of some nicely-worn vintage denim. The tall domed crystal screams vintage and at 38mm, this watch wears extremely well on the wrist!
