To Plate or Not To Plate
Anyone have opinions on replating cases?
I am considering setting up a small plating station to replate mostly yellow cases.

Ask general questions about Bulova watches. Please do not ask for model identification. Add your watch to the website for that.

I picked up a 1967 M7 Bulova Accutron at a Garage Sale this weekend. I took it home and found that it had a quartz movement. It looks like it has a gold cover to it. Anyone seen this movement and know what model it is? I assume it is a replacement but I could not find this movement info. BTW...I am getting a pulse with a 392 battery but the watch does not advance. I am ordering a 384 to see if it makes a difference.
Could someone tell me what model this crystal fits. It has been laying around here for a while.

If anyone has this watch for sale, please contact me. Thank you!
Hi,
I have an M9 Bulova 666 Snorkel Oceanographer, which I bought without bezel. I was lucky to find a NOS bezel, but am missing the part which made it click.
It makes me wonder if the bezel was bi/uni-directional and wether it used a spring or a click-ball ?
A part id or photo would be wonderful if possible.
My humble thanks for any input.
kind regards,
Nikolaj
I am trying to identify this bezel but do not have the case back or movement.
The case is 2 part design and the bezel presses over the crystal.
The best match I have found is the 1962 Midshipman, but there are no examples on the site.


Can anyone tell me the year or years the President would have come with this display case?


I have noticed the older model (1969) of the 7733 2 dial chrono Devil Diver do no have the 666 on the dial, does this make them less or more desirable?
Thanks
Came across this Bulova Music Watch box. Have never seen one before and really found nothing on the web similar to it. Probably from late 70s (or early 80s) . Marked "The Romantics"
Anyone knows anything about this box? I would very much appreciate whatever information that can be provided.
Thanks,
Vlad
I'm looking for a replacement balance wheel for my '52 Acadamy Award 'O' cal 10BM with some difficulty, but seem to have heard that a 10BH and / or a 10AK will do the trick just as well . Can anyone confirm or deny please? thanks
