Watch Description

1959 (L9) case with a 17 Jewel 11AF movement dated M0 for 1960. Very similar to the 1948 Brewster as seen in the attached photos. I'm not suggesting its a 1960 Brewster...I'm just pointing out it's exactly the same size and shape with minor differences such as the lugs and on the bezel at the crown. It will help in identification i think.

Watch Description

II have two of these similar watch cases and bezels and three different movements and case backs. The subject watch  question is the first photo - a 1948 dated case with a 1947 dated 15J 10BC movement. In the second photo I show both my complete watches (L: 1948 Brewster; R: 1960 Unknown; Middle: 1946 dated 15J 10BC with a case back that starts with a "5" for 1945. The case back fits the Brewster bezel. The third watch on the right is a 1959 (L9) dated case with a 1960 (M0) date 17J 11AF movement. The third photo shows the this subject watch in comparison to the 1960 dated 11AF watch. The bezel is only slightly different in the lugs and in the crown area - otherwise they are exactly the same size and take the same crystal. I could not find any similar bezel and case for 1959-60 so I'll post it as an Unknown...however, I did want to point out the similarities between the two watches.

Wanted - 10BZ 2 Part Water Proof Stem

Submitted by DarHin on
Forum topics

I think the Bulova part #'s are #16B for the male (crown side) and #16C for the female movement side. The length on my old female movement side is 9.88mm. My Bestfit catalogs don't list any stems for the 10BZ.

I want to thank John (JP) for taking the time to look through his stems and sending a few candidates. Unfortunately, none of them will work.

I can trade a crystal if you need one or $$$.

Thanks
