Watch Description

Dial needs a total refinish.It has bilstered off in several areas. Case back is signed inside and out and the movement is signed as well. All hands and numbers are raised and gilt and the signature and minute markers are black. The watch runs well and keeps good time. I saw one like this on ebay go for a considerable amount today and was suprised at the figure. I would like to get it redialed and hang on to it as it was given to me by the son of a master watch maker who was a Bulova nut and it has pushed me to get into the collecting of them.

Douglas? I Don't Think So

Submitted by DarHin on

After looking at every rectangle watch in the database the closest one I came up with was the Douglas but the lugs are different. I checked the ads from '44 to '46  also. Could it be a later case?

It's either a Craftsman or a Tuxedo, though I don't have the original band. I went with Tuxedo because of the contrasting color of the sub-seconds area. Overall Length: 38mm Width: 21mm 14KWG

Early Bulovas Interchangeable with Font (FHF)

Submitted by stoddrob on

Hey,

I have seen several posts, such as from Rev Rob, where early Bulova movements were noted to be interchangeable with Swiss-made Font movements. As an example, I have been told the 10AX is interchangeable with Font 324. Is there a list, or can anyone provide a list, of interchangeable Swiss movements and Bulova movements such as the 10A, 10P, 10AE, 10AN, 10AX, etc? Thanks! Maybe a list could be added to the Information Tab of the site?
