 Hi All'

I just came across a movement with this on it "Swiss P. DROZ  " it is a 15 jewel swiss movmt, the owner says it is from the 20's

Any ideas

Thanks

I have been left a solid gold Bulova watch which is old but in very good condition and i do not know what it is.

Year model anything would be nice.

I would never use it myself.

It has a gold band and was serviced about 5 years ago.

I was told it was the first Accutron with a mercury battery Although this is not what is in the watch at the moment.

I have seen there are repeat codes by years. If I have, for example, a 10AN movement with a circle. How I know the year of the movement?

Best regards.

Does anyone know if the 10CNCH is the only true 24 hour movement Bulova made?

Also is it possible someone knows what Bulova called the watch.?

Also I need you help finding hands for the Bulova A-11, 17 A 17 3818, etc.

Does anyone know a good source

I recently found my great grandfather's  1940s Bulova squadron with the original box, etc. I have all THAT, but I have no idea how old it is precisely. I've narrowed it down (using what Ive seen from other identical watch examples on this site) to 1945-1947, but I'm not 100% sure. There's oddly no date code anywhere on the movement, and the case serial number search (5095697) revealed nothing on this site. Am I doing something wrong? How do I date it on this site with just the case number and no date code???

I recent;y purchased a stunning 1938 minuteman and the second hand is missing. The movement is a 7AP, and I've been searching high and low, and haven't found a 7AP second hand. I remember reading that the parts were often interchangable, so would using a 7AK second sweep hand (the closest one i could find: the model before the 7AP) work on a 7AP movement?

Where can I purchase a gasket for the case back? Or can someone tell me if the gasket is a flat or round like an o'ring and the dimensions? Thank you very much for your help!

Good Day All

I am in need of a case wrench for Bulova military, I believe it is #9082, or any suggestions on a tool to get the case open?

Thanks

My grandfather's 1940 Standish (in the database) has moderate wear-through in the plating on the back side of the case.

This watch is far and away a more sentimental item than anything else - I have no intention of selling it anywhere, at any price.  So my question is whether re-plating the case will prevent any further deterioration or is it best just to let it be?

Thoughts are most welcome!

Hi to all.

This is my first post in this forum and I'm sure that it'll have a complicate answer. I'm only an amateur watchmaker and after some time I decided to buy some old bulova watches. Recently I purchased two Sky King' cases wit dial. I have seen in the archives two types of dials for this watch but one of this cases, has a possible third dial? Although the marking aren't for this case, the dial has the same form and measures.

Could somebody tell me if is possible this dial for this model or which bulova watch use this one?
