FOR SALE IS A SUPER RARE 1962 BULOVA 314 666 DEVIL DIVER EPSA SUPERCOMPRESSOR ALL ORIGINAL WITH SOME WICKED COOL MARBLED PATINA.
-
CASE: SHARP ALL-STEEL EPSA SUPERCOMPRESSOR CASE MEASURING 36mm ACROSS CASE NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL DOUBLE SIGNED BULOVA CROWNS. CASE IS IN HONEST CONDITION WITH HAIRLINES THROUGHOUT AND SOME SMALL DINGS BUT NO EVIDENCE OF EVER HAVING BEEN POLISHED.
-
DIAL: AS CLASSIC AS THEY COME!! CHECK OUT THIS AGED GLOSS BLACK DIAL WHICH HAS DEFINITELY SEEN SOME ACTION. THERE IS SOME EVIDENCE OF WEAR THROUGHOUT THE DIAL WHICH GIVES THIS A COOL ROUGH AND TUMBLE LOOK. SUCH AN IMPACTFUL AND HIGHLY LEGIBLE LAYOUT WITH THE 12/3/6/9 ARABIC NUMERALS AND JUST 1 LINE OF TEXT. THE AGED LUME MATCHES NICELY FROM THE DIAL PLOTS TO THAT ON THOSE YELLOWED WHITE SYRINGE STYLE HANDS. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THAT ROTATING INNER BEZEL(CONTROLLED BY THE TOP CROWN) WITH THE BOLD SILVER MARKINGS AND THE INTACT TRIANGULAR LUME PIP AT 12.
-
MOVEMENT: THIS BULOVA RUNS ON A CLASSIC IN-HOUSE 11ALAC AUTOMATIC WHICH IS SUPER CLEAN AND KEEPING GREAT TIME. SERVICE HISTORY IS UNKNOWN BUT WATCH HAS BEEN PERFORMING GREAT FOR WEEKS OF ON/OFF WRIST OBSERVATION. TOP CROWN OPERATES THE INNER ROTATING BEZEL. BEZEL ROTATES WELL BUT DOES DEMONSTRATE A BIT OF SLIPPAGE WHEN ROTATING COUNTERCLOCKWISE.
- WATCH COMES ON WHAT MIGHT POSSIBLY BE THE ORIGINAL JB CHAMPION 5 LINK BRACELET WHICH CAN ACCOMMODATE UP TO AN 8 1/8 “ WRIST. THIS IS NOT A MODEL YOU SEE COME AROUND OFTEN, AND THE HONEST AGING ON THE DIAL ADDS TO ITS CHARM. BULOVA ONLY MADE THESE SUPER COMPRESSORS FOR 3 YEARS, AND THEY ARE GETTING REALLY HARD TO SOURCE.
