Please explain to this n00b why this is significant? Did Bulova sell the Royal Oak rights to AP? I have a 60's Bulova Swiss Auto at home that I love and I know they sold out at one point or another?

The Bulova and AP Royal Oak both came out in the 70's. By virtue of its price the Bulova was always the poor cousin.

At one time I owned three of this model and sold two of them last year. They do have a collectors following, usually selling for sub £300 (us$450).
Nice to see low end watches holding/increasing in value
