Vintage Bulova information sharing

I'll start off with this gem.

Just a friendly reminder here for those of us who are concerned with our movements damaging themselves through lack of service. 

My apologies to those who already know this little tidbit, this is in regards to oiling a watch. Apart from my usual rant about never oiling a dirty watch, and if it hasn't been cleaned, it is dirty, this is to do with what not to oil.

I now am the proud owner of a training manual from the actual bulova school. This manual uses a 10AK movement for all of the training and is very complete.  I am willing to share this great book with anyone who is a watch maker or wants to try to become one or just wants to be able to do some of the simple things better.

Check this out.  Looks like a couple put together a progject showing Bulova post cards from Canada and the jewelers that sent them.  Could be maybe used as a clue which jewelers to look stuff up on in Canada?  The article is kind of cool anyway:

Ever wondered where they got the idea for the I-Pod? Well, look no further than this 1967 ad.

Well since we're looking.  Check some of these out.  Pretty neat.

Does any one have a BestFit parts catalog?? I acquired a large lot of BestFit stems and don't have a catalog to identify what watches they might fit.  Please PM me if you have one and I will negotiate with you for a copy of it.

Started this post to share a few of the more interesting vintage Newspaper ads I've found recently.  Some have new information and models listed.  Some are just interesting to show marketing used at the time.  The dates of publication are confirmed from the top of the publication.  They may not warrant a spot in the ad database, but are noteworthy.

Bought this watch for my wife . I assume it is some kind of promotional watch and guessing it is something like ' Sea world ' . Any suggestions .   thanks

This is one of several newspaper articles I've found on Bulova School of Watchmaking, and Bulova's efforts to help Vets achieve their full potentials after a rough war....Too cool!   This one is from the Torrance Herald.
