It struck me again this morning while working on...watches 
, that so many Imado watches, LED, LCD and some '70s automatics, have obviously the same movement and cases as some Bulova models, or are terribly close. I can only think of one Imado model that doesn't fit that category - the rectangular faced one that was obviously influenced by the Omega TC series. I'm finding nothing on Imado before the '70's. Were they possibly a "B"(secondary) line of Bulova, sort of like how "Vantage was a "B" line of Hamilton? Any thoughts or enlightenment would be nice.
And the Imado's brown owner's manuals seem very "Bulova-like" to me. MAybe just an overactive imagination on that one.
