Hi guys,
Just wondering about a movement I’ve happened on. It’s a 15j 10AKCSH. I know it’s supposed to be 16j but this thing is definitely stamped 15j. It is identical to the normal movement you might expect to see in a A11 and is even date stamped “X” for ‘43. There is nothing different in the hacking mechanism or setup. Anybody got any ideas on this one? Miss stamp? 15 just somehow ended up there? I’m just hoping there’s an explanation that doesn’t make me look like an idiot for asking.
The early Bulova 16J 10AKCSH was a modified 15J 10AK, built to meet the Military spec requirement.
1942 version
as one can see it is clearly marked 15J

For all intents and purposes it is exactly the same as the 16j. That is as far as I can tell there are no CS 10 AK’s in the 15j. The fact it has a hack function that works perfectly well also throws me. It’s got to be some kind of miss strike the more I think about it. Love to show you a photo but I can never work out how to upload anything.

I put that last post up before realising there was more info listed. The subject watch in the photo you have put up certainly clears that up for me. That’s the one right down to the exact position of the date stamp, anchor on that one, cross on my example. I’ll certainly be having a look at the Worn and Wound text. Thanks for that.
