I would like to stir the pot a little if thats OK.

I see a lot of miss matches on cases and movements involving the 11AF movement.

More specifically.....What are the chances that someone at Bulova miss-stamping the 11AF in 1960 with an N instead of an M?

My 1959 non-conforming (Senator) has the L9 on the case and N0 on the 11AF movement. Jabs has a 1960 Senator in the database with an 11AF movement with an N0 date code.

I have 4 in a row. (See photos) All contain 10BC movements. Far left, being the bottom in the photo, no problem, date code O...1944 Lioeutenant. #2... Arnold...date code J9 ??? (See photo) #3... Minuteman, date codes Square, triangle...is it a 45 or a 47 ?? # 4..no problem..date code...47

Hello Everyone 

I'm a new member and have a love for Bulova watches 

More interesting I have 3 of the Golden Clipper Award Swords 

Can anyone tell me the value of them

Thanks

I recently acquired a 1959 Bulova with a 10BPAC movement (sunburst dial), which has the same identical notch in the side of the case (9:00 position in pic below) as this 10ACAC I found for sale online.

What in the world is the notch for? I know the watch I have has a lot of corrosion in the vicinity of the notch and almost looks like the case has had some water intrusion.

Thanks for any insight,

Mike

Trying to date this bulova. Pretty sure it is pre 1923. But not sure

I posted a photo to my '59 non-conformer watch DB. One has appeared on Ebay identical to it with a '52 or '53 date code

Trying to find out how long the Kirk model ran. The only example in the DB is a '52. I have what I think is a '53...waiting on the panel to let me know. But there is an interesting watch on Ebay from '64 marked clearly with an M4. The face also has Bulova and 23 Jewels written on it. The hands look like '60's era hands. But I can't find anything in the '60s even close to it.

Did Elite make any cases for Bulova in the 1933 time frame ?

I recently had my 1965 Accutron with a 214 movement repaired with a sealed, new old stock, index wheel by a shop that said they knew Accutrons well and had sold them new when they came out.

But, the watch seems to like to stop and then start again, especially right after setting it. It will also sometimes do this when sitting still or when being put on the wrist.

When it stops, it still hums. The battery hasn't been replaced in probably about a year, but I thought maybe this stopping and starting may be caused by a low, dying, battery.
