New (old) watch has arrived!

It took me awhile but I finally found a cool vintage watch to go with the nifty Preppy Striped 80's nylon watch strap I bought months ago.  The watch is a stainless steel Caravelle 17 Jewel manual wind made by Bulova in the late 60's or early 70's.  After much searching in the malls, eBay was the supplier for a cool $15.00!

I have to say that I am very pleased with my purchase, assuming of course that it still works next week.  I figured that for a watch that cheap it was worth rolling the dice.  I did a whole post on the strap acquisition many months ago if you want to dig for some background.  I see a lot of these straps in the blogs I frequent, but not so much around Houston.  Maybe I'll re-start a trend!
