Ask a question

Hi everyone, 

I lost where I posted this in a thread about an early Astronaut, so I thought I'd ask again. 

Has anyone a good picture or seen a real-life example of the 17" Bulova X-15 pilot strap? (Would it be on display in any museum?)

I've seen a few pics here on the forum, but none that are very detailed. 

Hi Gents,

I am pretty new to collecting vintage Bulova watches.  I just read that radium is radioactive and this has given me pause.  I have already cleaned one case on the Military Miss I have.  I have two more watches coming with the same lumed dials and I am wondering if you think it is safe to clean the cases.  Not the dials or hands but is taking the movement out to clean the case dangerous as well?  I did a search but didn't find a clear answer.  Thanks in advance.  

How does one tell the difference between a Director and a Statesman (same case design)?

Is it year made, dial style, case composition, or any/all; or is it a case of a name change on a whim?

I am looking for a second hand for a 1948 Bulova His Excellency DD. I ended up loosing the original second hand. I have found a supplier that has large collection of second hands for Bulova 7AK movements. How can I find out what part number I need for the second hand for the His Excellency DD?

Hello,

I’m new to the group, but have been using the website for a while.  This is a great resource.  I’ve got a few Bulova watches that I need to get listed.

But I have a question and could use some advice.

I was at the flea market on Sunday searching a big pile of junk jewelry and watches.  Found a bunch of watch bracelets including an original vintage Casio and Seiko plus several gold topped 40's-50's pieces in decent shape and a ladies Helbros with bracelet.    I also did find what I was later to learn is a Bulova Accutron Key Coin.   Got the whole lot for $6.   Coincidentally I was wearing my 1964 Spaceview.  How appropriate.  The picture is not mine but mine is just like this.  I know they were included in the boxes on early watche

I recently acquired this beautiful watch.  It is a large stainless case with a beautiful champagne dial.  I don't have it with me at the time and only have these pictures (as purchased and with the added leather strap)  but  was wondering what you thought.  I just can't seem to find anything like it.  The closest was a 1977 set o matic with day date but with Roman dials.  I will put more info and pictures later when I get the watch back but was wondering about a date.  Is this post 1979 and that is why there is nothing on the MyBulova site.&nb

My cousin in France asked for my help concerning this watch.  His father was a bartender in Bordeaux.  An American GI came in to his bar for a drink, but didn't have any money so the GI gave the bartender his watch.  My cousin inherited the watch from his father.  My cousin is asking me if there is any way to identify the name of the GI who owned the watch.  The inscription on the back says:  ORD. DEPT,  U.S.A. , OF 129030 , BULOVA WATCH CO.

Thank you.

I am very familiar with the Bulova cal. 10AN movement in its 15 and 17 jewel configurations, as I own and have serviced several Bulova models with this movement.   But I recently purchased a Bulova in an Anchor step-sided gold-filled case with a 21 jewel cal. 10AN movement.  The cap stones are friction fit, not screwed down, and the movement is marked "6 adjustments", which would lead me to believe this is an unusually high quality of finish for the cal. 10AN.

Hi All, can any one give the reference number for a replacment oval crystal for a 1926 Bernice
