General Information - [ Archived ]

There are 388 vintage ads in the ad database section, 1265 watch records in the "known" or "identified" database section, and, surprisingly only 368 watch records in the "unknown" database section.  Lots of watch ID's have been assigned, whether unrated, unconfirmed, tentative, or confirmed.  I'd say this site's resources have had the single biggest impact on Bulova model ID'ing anywhere....and over the last five plus years, we don't know how many personal collection pieces may have ID'ed their watches with mybul

Has anyone been in contact with William of WatchCrystals.net? I've PM'd and emailed over the past 3 weeks with no response.

Well, last week I was talking with a local jeweler and he mentioned possibly finding time to dig out the old dusty box with the bulovas in it.  ;>0 well after I non-chalantly wiped the drool from my chin I made an appointment for tommorrow afternoon.

I might also mention that this jeweler sold me a 49 yellow gold Conrad in fair condition but needing the movement cleaned for $10!!!

The wife and I are looking forward to this little treasure hunt.

But not in the original box with the original band!!  Woot!

I'm okay with the price.  Essentially what I paid for the other one I have without the box.  

So now... I guess we see which one is more box worthy and maybe re-"gift" the other. =)

I'm not a huge fan of this model Director but I could pass with the original box and then added an addition minty looking 50's-60's Waterproof box...

So I bought this ad.  It shows an array of c1960 "Ladies" watches w/ "custom cases" by Allerton Company".  It's a two page ad, only one page shown below.  It was not Bulova marketing and its unclear how the actual watch cases were signed, but the dials were original Bulova dials signed as such.

Just wanted to say i have been collecting bulovas since 2003 seriously but all of my life in reality.  I have noticed that the bulova"s seemed to be going for more on e-bay during the last year, and could not figure this out.  Well once i found this site and all the wonderful information that you folks have put together i now know why.  This is the most informative site on watch collecting i have ever seen and i just wanted to say thank you.  Once i figure out how to post pictures here i will try to add some of my watches and add to the site and not just take away f

Check out the trademarks from some of Bulova's vintage watches.... very cool.  This might be cool to get into the database.

I picked this up when i picked up the duowind i just posted..this why i didn't want to return it..i got the two automatics plus a ladies watch at a steal of 51.00 dollars..this Jet is great shape it needs to be cleaned and polished but has very very little wear to the tip of the top lugs...the seller said it wasn't running but i wore it the day i got it and it was keeping time..i will service the movement and clean the case..but i like it, it is a nice sized watch..here some pics for the time being...
