I have two very nice running Woody's.... a 1973 & 1975. Both are in fantastic shape with very little wear and both hum right along keeping good time. (pictured above is the 1975)
Hi all, please see link below for my watch

Thanks

Hi All, I have an old watch which I am trying to find a little more information about. All I know is the watch was made in 1965. On the back of the casing it reads M5 2-66494, Inside case reads CB 484, on the back of the Movement it reads Swiss M7 17 Jewels Seventeen, and then in a little ingraved boxed area it reads 7 BEACD. All the writing on the back of the movement is written in gold. Judging by some of the fine watches I have seen on this site it doesnt look like mine would be of any importance or value, but any information would be appreciated.
Thanks - Paul
Does anyone have a crystal cross reference for G-S, BB, WC crystals? It would be great to have this information available on the site to match crystals. Is it taboo to ask for someone to share this by posting it on the site? Or is it privilaged information?

this is a picture of the same watch i inherited from my grandfather. 1. does this watch have a model name? also, during the watches lifetime, the hands were changed to a non luminous type (brown/gold and hard to read). 2. the luminous hands in the picture are what i'm looking for any ideas on where to get these hands?
Case serial number is 4576747. Watch is marked L1 on case and on movement. Movement is marked 17 jewels and 10 BM. It has a lot of honest wear but sets, runs, and keeps great time. I don't know much about vintage watches and usually just collect vintage sterling jewelry. I saw this on Ebay from one of my favorite sellers and won it for $21. It was very filthy outside, so I took your advice about the Brasso and Plastic X and cleaned it up. The case was really stuck with grime but the movement is very clean? Hope I can figure out how to add a picture!
My uncle left me this beautiful watch 24 years ago, and it has been in my dresser drawer ever since. It works fine, and I would like to learn the age and model. On the back it says 10k rolled gold plate, and the serial number is 4495152. Based on research I did using your excellent links, I suspect this is a 1947 Clinton. Does anyone concur?
Case: 14K Bulova 838828 white gold with 12 bead-set natural diamonds.
Inside Case Back: Jewelers marks over perlage.
Dial: Bulova 23 silver w/ black Arabic numerals and round markers at 3, 6, 9, & 12.

The bracelet is hallmarked Champion 1/20 10KtGF USA, and has a double safety clasp fastener with a safety chain. Don't know if bracelet is original or not. This watch is signed Bulova FOUR times: on the dial, crown, case back, and movement.
The correct period and style to be in the La Petite series, just no matching ad.
It's like... you don't see something for a long time. And then you suddenly see a plethora of them?!
This one I got for a great price.... seller said the they wound it and it keeps time... I just need to get a crown/stem for a 7AC movement.
