Love Actually movie Emma Thompson watch

Submitted by JimDon5822 on

I was just watching the movie Love Actually. One of my favorites, and found this image from one of the great scenes of the movie.  In the pivotal scene where she received the wrong Christmas present from her husband and comes to the realization he is cheating on her. She goes to the bedroom and cries. And then wipes her face. Clearly seems to be a 1930s Bulova American clipper.

Unknown Case Serial and Unknown Movement Serial Numbers

Submitted by Nancy A Zahorodny on

I am new to this forum, therefore, I hope I am using and searching the website correctly.  I inherited a 1926 ladies, 14K white gold filled, watch with sapphire in crown, for which I cannot discern any information.  There is no patent number.  I am hoping that maybe someone more knowledge can enlighten me.  Here's what I do know:

Manufacture year = 1926

Movement model = 6W

Movement code = Triangle

Movement jewels = 15

Movement serial # = 73032

Case serial # =517997

Case shape Rectangle with cut corners

Is this Bulova a knock off?

Submitted by denisesanborn1 on

I do not know the year but I do remember my father wearing this in the 80's. I took to the watch store today for a cleaning so I can hand it down to my son. They said it was likely a knock off. I didn't ask further questions and they would not open the back of it. Under Bulova on the face it does say ACCURATE not Acutron and I have not been able to pull up any Bulova ACCURATE watches. Is it likely a knock off?
