I need to source a crown for a 1973 Ambassador 11AOACD. I believe the measurements to be 4mm diam , tap 8 (1.1mm) 2mm tube, (In the Uk tap sizes seem to mean that a tap 8 = .8mm , tap 9 = .9 mm etc , all very confusing !)  As I cannot find anything here , before committing to buy even a generic crown from the US, at some expense for such a small item , would appreciate any advice whether my sizing is correct

Hi All,

I just picked up a vintage His Excellency "FF" that's in need of some repairs. This is my first time working on a vintage Bulova and I have a few initial questions for anyone familiar with this model. Excited to start working on it!

Wanted to post photos pf my Bulova tank style watch to identify the crystal sizr, but I see there is no way to do that unless I'm missing something. 

Hey everyone! I have a 1973 Bulova Minuteman that I picked up on Ebay. I need to do a full service on it to have it be fully functional but before I do I need to locate a new crystal. The current one is totally shattered. Does anyone know what crystal this watch needs?

Hello fellow Members, I would very much love to get my hands (wrist) on a Lone Eagle I Conqueror. I know this model has become scarcer than hen’s teeth over the years, but I will pay a king’s ransom naturally. Better the condition, higher the price. If any member out there has one they would like to sell or knows of someone who would like to sell, I’m a very serious buyer. This is a stab in the dark, but thought I would ask for posterity. Thank you very much for your consideration. I’m very glad to have become a recent member. This is a great forum and a wealth of Bulova information!

I have a 1977 218 Railroad Approved Accutron that loses about 6 seconds per day. I know that's nowhere near the accuracy that was advertised when the watch was new, but what is it reasonable to expect for accuracy now, considering that the internal components are almost 50 years old? It's running on a new 1.5V battery.

Thanks,

TQ

Looking for 1952 Sutton with 3 diamonds  to buy. My 84 yr old father lost his years ago. Hoping to replace for him. 

The original battery for my Accutron 2182 was an Accutron 218 1.35 volts. The only one I'm finding with 1.35 volts is the ACCUCELL-1. Has anyone had experience with this and is it a good choice?  

Is there a trick to attaching the watch bracelet with the end pieces to an Accutron AG up/down model watch? I can't seem to do it, curved pins?

Could someone please tell me the correct part number for the crystal and if possible where to source it?

Thanks  - Rick
