Need case-back cover gasket for Bulova WW2 era 10AK/AKC/AKCSH...

Submitted by bartowsky2002 on

Hi All,

Looking for gaskets  that go between the case-back cover and the inner, protective shield on a Bulova military, WW2 era, wrist watch with a 10AK/10AKC/10AKCSH movement. Here is a link to pictures on this website of the same case and case-back:

Thanks in advance,

Sam.

ditto,

The Watch You are linking to is a 10AK 'ORD DEPT' and the correct gasket for the early Bulova is Black (?).. I have some latter WWII found with a semi-transparent gasket.

What are You using for glass in these.

Depending on what the customer wants. I.E. budget resto or full on. For the full on I have them custom made by my crystal maker in San Francisco. For the budgets I've found that Stella low dome WEC ledge acyrilics work the best and they usually stay in place well. Or I go old school, but not offten as my supply of NOS ORD crystals are running low and they were just a chance find in a surplus lot of parts I bought. Patina on them is a little yellow, but the wheel and a little Kystal Kleer shines them right back to ready to install.

An extremely hard item to find, considering the abundance of surplus still avaialble.

Thank You for the tip on the Stella's, any chance You'd part with a NOS or two?

Fifth,

I'd like to say yes, but at this time the inventory is 1 ORD for two piece cases and 2 for the rarer three piece. I've got two restos in route that are going to bring me down to 1 for the 3pc left.(customer request)  Then the last would be a spare for my Bulova  A-11 pictured in my avatar. I'd love to find some good military surplus lots somewhere again. I know someone holds the key to a snod locker somewhere with some great stuff to plunder. Finding them is the Key!
