I have enjoyed vintage watches for a couple of years now. I have my Grandfather's Bulova, it has a 12-B movement. I understand that this movement is actually a Junghans 89 (?). It was given to him by his lodge in 1953. It is not running and is missing the two (2) extra knobs. I understand that this is an alarm watch and I am assuming that these push buttons or knobs control the alarm.
The case says that it is 14K, solid I beleive.
I am new to this forum and I am hoping that someone can help me to either replace the movement and buttons or to get this fixed. Please help me with this, it is important to me.
Thanks!
The Watch is the Bulova 'WRIST ALARM' and You are correct, the 12B movement was made by Junghans (Junghans 689.70 / J89) for Bulova between the Years 1951 - '58 which would date Your Watch to 1951 - '53. Later examples in the database.
Crown at 2 sets the alarm (will only set in reverse).
Crown at 3 sets the time.
Pusher at 4 enables / disables the alarm.
A very collectable piece.
Would love to see a picture and have it added to the database.
