I've seen a couple of these in the last 10 years but I've always thought it was a redial.  It appears to be a black luminescent dialed President from say the early 1940's.   Almost like a "General", but with a yellow gold case and black dial vs the rose gold/copper.

Hi everyone,

Recently got this 1949 Bulova Excellency and was hoping to have a look at the movement but it's one of those where the dial face is attached to the movement. 

Probably a newbe question but wat mean the "oAo" code inside the back case here ?

In trying to fit a donor 6BO movement into a Lady Berkshire case (which formerly contained a quartz movement) , the stem seems too short as the crown is fouling the case even when pulled out . A novice in this area so unsure how stem is removed if indeed a longer version is needed for this particular model . Any advice, pearls of wisdom etc , would be much appreciated

Recently acquired a sheer cornucopia vintage straps, I estimate mostly 1940's and 50's stuff (based on the stitching)

a couple of them jump out immediately

Does anyone recognize the era of the Bulova waterproof hangtag?  1950's? 

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).

My 1944 Bulova Minute Man  has the following information etched in it: BULOVA 10K ROLLED GOLD PLATE BEZEL STERLING BASE STAINLESS BACK NEW YORK. 

What does this mean in terms of the case/bezel.  Does Rolled Gold plate mean: rolled gold, gold plate, gold filled etc.
