Re: I bought a weird/cool watch today (not Heuer)

: This is interesting...I have this number twice. (10261)
: I'll check back with the other bracelet owner and verify his
: number.

I checked the number again and 10261 is correct.

: I have the same box with my earliest serial number, although the
: box is white instead of black.

: I doubt Bulova shipped the watches in these boxes...I think the
: dealer added them at the point of sale.

This is interesting. I know a little bit about Bulova boxes from studying Accutrons. They did seem to have some standards for boxes but there was some room for dealer flexibility
