Default Re: What did you get for your high school graduation?

I can't remember which gift I received for graduation...the typewriter, the sewing machine, or the Bulova watch. But I want to talk about the watch.

For over 40 years it sat in my jewelry box. Every now and then I'd take it out and look at it because it was my all time favorite and most beloved watch of all time. The stem had broken off and I had taken it to various jewelers over the years. Each time I was told the same...it's not repairable.

This past winter I located the one and only authorized Bulova repair center located in NYC. Low and behold, they repaired it for about $150 only for me to receive it finding it not running. I was sooooo disappointed and ready to return it again to NYC when I remembered it was a wind up watch. Once I wound it, it worked and I'm now wearing the watch I wore over 40 years ago.

I LOVE IT!
