I read somewhere that the BXW we see on Swiss movements is an US import code spicific for Bulova required on "finished" movements coming into USA.  It was not required on Swiss eubauchs coming to USA.  Other watch manufacturers had their own codes assigned to them.  I just don't remember when this requirement started.  

Can anyone refresh my memory....or correct it please?

WoW! I am just shocked at what I have been seeing here. I am truly dissapointed.

Thanx to all of you that have helped me in the past.

Thank you to the site founder for turning his passion into such an informative and helpfull site...so sad to see it go the way it has. I KNOW you put a LOT of time and money into this and you must be davestated by the recent uhh hell Im not even sure what to call it, but I for one am sorry all of this has gone down as it has.

Thanx for the fun conversations and the education from many of you.

   i would like to know if any of the members prefer one watch oil over another. i usually get my watch supplies from a company called cas-ker and there are so many kinds. has someone a suggestion? thank you

When i first joined the site i was so happy that i had finally found a place to research my watches, Peace to all And the thrill of the hunt is as exciting as that rare Bulova you will find. Thank you Plainsmen

Lets discuss the pros and cons of site moderators.  Until the time that new site "ownership" is determined, a moderator or group of moderators could help with some of the "mechanics" of site administration, among other things.  This could free up current admin from some of the nuts and bolts stuff he has passionately been taking upon himself to date.  I believe his effectiveness to do some of these things has been compromised by recent comments and misunderstandings. - not by his lack of ability, nor any decision he has made (or not made).

When I go to search myBulova Watches, I get a screen like below, without any way to complete search.  Logged on and off several times and still happening.  Anyone else experiencing this?

Nautically Sexy  Moon Phase.....

Yes, I'm bringing it...

Far too many Watches are being entered into the database labeled as a variant while not matching the ad showing what the variant is.

What is a variant? - A variant is known Model in a very specific configuration.

If a Watch entering the database is not configured exactly the same as the variant depicted in the ad how can it be the named variant ??????

Your very best answers please Boys and Girls, I'd love to hear them.

I couldn't resist this Quartz Moon Phase for $78.00.  Another daily driver !!!!!

This is a cool ad I found... I don't think we have it.. but it shows the Knight model.  I believe this is going to be around 1938 as the Montgomery is there... as is the 37-38 Ranger model as well as the 1939-40 Banker
