This website looks to be an amazing resource. Many thanks for allowing me to join.

I am one of the authors of the recent book about the Polerouter and I would be extremely grateful if the Bulova experts could help me solve a question about a type of bezel occasionally seen on the Polerouter Sub models.

I did a little research and figured out what each letter of the Bulova movement numbers mean. This may be written down somewhere but I’ve never seen it.

This applies to mechanical movements only.

After the first 2 letters, every letter after that has a specific meaning.

A = Automatic
B = Day-Date
C = Sweep seconds
D = Calender (date)
F = No seconds hand
L = No seconds hand
H = Hack
R = Alarm
S = Glycidur balance
U = Jump Hour

1939 Ad showing Bulova had a tie in with the movie "The Golden Boy".

Who knew.....The Corrigan watch was officially tied to the movie "Thy Flying Dutchman" starring Douglas Corrigan.   Found in 1939 ad.  It would be great to find advertising associated with this tie in.

Super interesting article about special engraved Bulova watches being presented to 7 American Airlines pilots who reached 1 Million miles of flight.    How cool would it be to find one of these.  

Hello I’m looking at purchasing a what I think is a late 1940 ish watch. But the back has no serial numbers and the date code is T2.  I’m lost on this one. Any help would be appreciated. I do have the add photos but not sure about adding them.

Has anyone had any luck with lume kits? What kits do you recommend?

Thank you

Gerard

Hello friends,

 Can someone help me find the part number for a 1972 Golden Clipper AB crown?

Thanks

I have a 1956 President (a black dial "B"). The crown is quite tired though and would like to replace it. Would someone have the reference number for this crown? 

Here's a picture of the crown I'm searching.

Looking for a case ring MR556 I think for a case nbr 827. Bulova Sea King 11ANAC N0

Have tried eBay but no luck. As an alternative I’d be interested in a case and caseback and ring that would fit this movement and dial. 

Thanks
