Cool vintage look!

It’s weird to see the reviews that criticize the push to turn bezel. I read similar complaints about the IWC GST Aquatimer bezel, and I feels totally natural to me.
Look great on you with the Bund.

My Bulova MIL-SHIPS arrived yesterday - A great reissue with an interesting piece of history behind it.

The Bund balances it nicely in the winter - a nice solution if anyone is bothered about strap width.. ...  

Good way to go around the narrow strap

I would love to have a look at this one. Nice design overall, and lots of details to love there. Did you take the limited or standard edition?

Its the limited one :) I would highly recommend !

Looks good …

And I really like the bund strap with it.

Thank you Captain :)

Enjoy 👍

Aaaah, congratulations! Excellent choice. You should not be bothered by the narrow strap as it is part of its DNA.

Here is the original: I am sure it will become one of your " buloved " watch very soon. Best, Nicolas ...  

Thank youy Nicolas - I'm very happy about the strap width, as you say its very much in keeping with the original spec. Best Will

 
 By: templetowers : January 13th, 2022-12:38

If only I coudl find the original. But it seems that with only a few made, as prototypes, it is an impossible mission.

 
 By: amanico : January 13th, 2022-12:39

I think you are right Nicolas..... But what if you did ! Its a dream to keep hold of ;)

 
 By: templetowers : January 13th, 2022-13:16

I am thinking about writing something on this watch. At least that will feed our dreams. ;)

 
 By: amanico : January 13th, 2022-13:21

Excellent ! And thank you in advance :)

 
 By: templetowers : January 13th, 2022-13:26

Thanks for the encouragement, mon ami.

 
 By: amanico : January 13th, 2022-23:28

So cool with the Bund! Totally takes the eyes away from the narrow lug width👍.

 
 By: vallura : January 13th, 2022-14:12

Congratulations. Sweet bund strap.

No complaints from me on the 16mm strap. ...  

Its a beauty on that Nato Bill :)

 
 By: templetowers : January 13th, 2022-16:17

Wow, cool combo, Bill!

Its easy to set and works the same way as the original BP Fifty Fathoms if I recall. My IWC Porsche Design Ocean 2000 has the same system :) Very cool IMO:)

 
 By: templetowers : January 13th, 2022-16:19

Yes, I don't see any problem with that system, at the contrary, it avoids the bezel to accidentally turn.

 
 By: amanico : January 13th, 2022-17:00

Big congrats! Looks amazing!

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : January 13th, 2022-16:27

Thankyou :) Its a great value everyday watch that your can do anything with :)

 
 By: templetowers : January 13th, 2022-16:49

Really stunning! 👌

This is a great look on the bund!

Bund Strap

 
 By: Sweet540 : August 22nd, 2022-23:43
I just bought the Bulova Mil Ship. Waiting on the shipment. I like the Bund strap idea. Can you advise exact spec/make/model/color/spec/source for that strap pictured and post a flat picture off the wrist please?
