    Bulova Flip Clock like a Cifra3

    See ebay listing

    I was surprised that the seller jumped on what I thought was a marginally low ball offer (low ball in this era of insanely high flip clock prices).
    But I've wanted to see one of this style. So ,it's on the way.
    I wanted this particular color because it reminds me of a 70s color. I remember an oven we had in the early 70s with this color.

    So what would you call this color?

    Here is a tan color pallete

    I guess it's a kind of tan.

    Anyway, I like it because it's a knock off the of the Cifra 3.
    Probably will do a video on it.

    Apparently the clock came out in 1972 or there abouts and colors were called ivory, avocado and gold.

      This is a nice clock inspite of being a 'knockoff'. I've had one of these and they're actually pretty solid built.

      The color very much so reminds me of one of the colors you find on the Sankyo's.

      Nice buy!

        The guy is good seller. I worked out a deal with him and got both clocks he was selling (the Avocado and Gold ones). Now all I need is the "Ivory." I really don't want or need it, but I'm 2/3 of the way there.
