In trying to fit a donor 6BO movement into a Lady Berkshire case (which formerly contained a quartz movement) , the stem seems too short as the crown is fouling the case even when pulled out . A novice in this area so unsure how stem is removed if indeed a longer version is needed for this particular model . Any advice, pearls of wisdom etc , would be much appreciated

Recently acquired a sheer cornucopia vintage straps, I estimate mostly 1940's and 50's stuff (based on the stitching)

a couple of them jump out immediately

Does anyone recognize the era of the Bulova waterproof hangtag?  1950's? 

I recently received my father's mid-70s Bulova devil diver and took it in for a service, but after getting it back I've realized that I don't know how to properly set the date. When I pull out the crown to the first position it allows me to set the time. Pulling it out to the second position and turning the crown also allows the time to be set, but interestingly just pulling it out to that second position will also jump the date by two, and sometimes three, numbers (it does nothing for the day).

My 1944 Bulova Minute Man  has the following information etched in it: BULOVA 10K ROLLED GOLD PLATE BEZEL STERLING BASE STAINLESS BACK NEW YORK. 

What does this mean in terms of the case/bezel.  Does Rolled Gold plate mean: rolled gold, gold plate, gold filled etc. 

Looking for help for my customer who needs a replacement crystal for a 1969 Skystar Case #2928 Mvt. 11BKACB. It's a flat-top design. Looking for a Bulova crystal part no. or G-S part number, any help that can be offered would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

I received a Bulova Quartz T8 watch, marked 14k on the case from a family member. It’s in excellent condition with a brand new battery.  I’m more of a divers watch type and am thinking of selling it. He bought it brand new from a local jeweler, so I know it’s authentic.  I was thinking it was a $100 watch but when I checked EBay, I saw ones that had sold for $500 up.

Dear all,

I found a Bulova Accutron Spaceview with an M8 case, but an M9 movement

I would like to know if this is OK, or is a Frankenstein watch

Thanks

Francesco

I haven't had any success finding a stem for the 17 jewel movement 10BX.  the watch is from the 1940's.  I noticed that all the 10B(A-Z) movements all have BXW stamped on the movement but some of them are 15 jewel movements so I don't think the stems fit all the varieties.  

I've searched the interchangeability charts but no sign of 10BX.

I'm watching an online estate auction.  One lot is for a watch with the dial marked Bulova Quartz Lifetime Mainspring.  Is this really a thing?  Why would a quartz watch have a mainspring?  Thanks.
