Bulova 17AH 15 Jewel Swiss ADJUSTED

Hi

I bought a very nice Bulova pocket watch. The movement marking is stamped '47'. I believe this means the watch is from 1947.

Having looked a a number of similiar watches, this is the only one that I have seen with ADJUSTED.

How does this set it apart from similiar watches like this?

Thanks,

cole

Just how fragile is the 8AE balance?

I am working on an excellent condition Squadron B with a '47 8AE movement.

I could almost say for certain that the balance wheel oscillators well before disassmbly. However, after very carefully removing the dust shield, the upper balance wheel pivot was broken.

When looking for a parts movement, I noticed many 8AE's for sale or bid without a balance wheel.

Are the 8AE's balance wheels that fragile?

A9 Academy Award Date Code?

Did Bulova date any of the Academy Award watches with an A9?

I have, over some time, acquired a few women's Academy Award watches including a "J", a "B" and two "F"'s.

Both "F"'s were purchased from different sellers. Both are white gold filled ("FF?") and have casebacks dated A9. Both have 21 jewel 6BC movements dated A9. However, the Roman numerals scribed into the case fronts do not match the last three numbers of either case back.

So, I have a conundrum about dating either watch. Can the A9 be correct for an AA?
