Sexy Sweep Second Hand
3 of 3 found this helpful Being advanced in life experience (which is "PC" for saying I'm old) I've always had a weakness for quality time pieces got from my father I suppose. At that time there was no such the as quartz movement it was hand wind high tech was self wind automatics, Great manufacturers such ss Longines Whitinauer, Omega, Hamilton to name a few. Accuracy was relative then springs winding and unwinding small cogs and gears wearing jewels served as bearing surfaces. Pardon the pun but over time the would cease to be accurate and servicing them on a regular schedule didn't come cheap. Then the advent of the quartz age battery powered technology that would bring stellar reliable accuracy in a time piece that even then a regular guy could afford. But the ugly dirty reality that made it different and nearly unfathomable to bring oneself to own was the staccato "tic...tic...tic" of the second hand. Anyone that is truly appreciative of watch craft will tell you the same the sweep second hand is a fluid beautiful thing to behold. Whomever is responsible for the design and engineering of the UHF movement on the Bulova Sea King is an absolute fn genius and deserves a huge raise with stock options and a corner offce. All B.S. aside this watch is fantastic it keeps phenomenal time and is rugged big and damn good looking . May buy another because every time I find something I really like it gets discontinued.

Better than OEM
Sway bar was a solid piece as to where the OEM was hollow and the durometer of the bushings and link kit were more of a neoprene consistency than rubber. My only delima was that the sway bar I took out was "point" up and the replacement had etched instructions on it that read "driver side down" which put the "point" down it was installed per intructions no issues. 2001 Chevy Venture 268k miles drives like a newer car.
