Late 1920's Bulova 'WINDSOR' vs 'CROMWELL'

Submitted by FifthAvenueRes… on

When doing some research on a recent database addition it has come to My attention that We have a couple of models confused with one another. 

The  1929'ish Bulova 'WINDSOR' and the Bulova 'CROMWELL' 

Whilst both are very similar, there are subtle differences that distinguish the 2, I have brought this to light in the individual watch threads but it seems it missed the mark so I'll bring it here. 

The 'WINDSOR' ad is 1929

Question about a 11AERC alarm watch part

Submitted by DogfaceNobody on
Forum topics

I am restoring a 1965 Bulova Wrist Alarm with the 11AERC movement.   The thing is the alarm setting lever detent springs is broken.  The little neck is broken off.   Does anyone happen to know the official name of this part.  I searched Emmywatch for the parts list and found a "Rocker spring" part 751 and an "alarm Clutch Lever spring part 748.   I am unsure of the official names of the parts and would like to know what this part is called so I don't order the wrong part.

Lone Eagle or Conqueror

Perhaps I am in the wrong forum category. I am seeking a well preserved Lone Eagle or Conqueror. As time has passed us by this was one model on my bucket list, while I love the history that is attached to this rare model, it is the Art Deco styling that buckled my knees. If any of the forum members have one, I would be interested. Please know it would go to a good family who loves old treasures

How to properly change date on mid-70s Snorkel?

Submitted by nchristman on
Forum topics

I recently received my father's mid-70s Bulova devil diver and took it in for a service, but after getting it back I've realized that I don't know how to properly set the date. When I pull out the crown to the first position it allows me to set the time. Pulling it out to the second position and turning the crown also allows the time to be set, but interestingly just pulling it out to that second position will also jump the date by two, and sometimes three, numbers (it does nothing for the day).

Hey All,

New to the forums, I have a 1962 Yankee Clipper thats in need of some repair/restoration.

I haven't submitted it to the "My watches" section here yet, as its not "complete" .

It needs a crown, stem, O-ring and Case Back Rim. Movement works though !! (11AFAC)

Hey all, 

Accutron 214 and 218 Movements need battery replacement every 12-14 months under normal operating conditions. This should be done by a Watchmaker or your local Jeweler but many of you wish to do it yourselves so here are my instructions: 

A Wearable Watchmaker's Loupe will be needed for both Accutron Model Battery Replacements

11ANAC set lever and screw

Submitted by ezaragoza on

Hi. 

Looking to replace set lever (#25) and screw (#48) for a 11ANAC. Trade or buy.  Unfortunaely, I think they were only used in the 11ANAC/B/D, there is no interchangeabilty with other movements :(.

or a non-functioning 11ANAC/B/D -  as long as the set lever and screw are good :)

thanks in advance
