Outstanding!  I really like the funky movements that various watchmakers were experimenting back in the 70's; not only your Bulova "hybrid" and the hummers, but the funky digitals, early solars, etc...very cool in historical perspective.  I have always wondered why the more modern hybrids have not done better - Seiko's kinetic aside, there were "auto quartz" from Miyota, and even Bulova has a kinetic-type version (forget the name)...very cool.  And yes, a 70 Javelin is a sweet ride; I would prefer the AMX due to the nose, but hey, from what I hear, those stock 390's could really fly!  And if I recall the Javelin set a bunch of speed records due to the aero package...who knew?  LOL!
