Black dial with gold, radium?

Submitted by KodachromeCrawford on

Hello everyone! Just received a ladies Bulova, it has a black dial and gold numerals. I have no idea of the model, I believe the back case has been replaced as there is nothing engraved. When I asked previously I was told that this would make it most likely non-conforming. So my issue is this, I want to open the case and look at the movement (to help with identification) but now am worried that it could be a luminous (radium) dial. I'm going to try to attach a photo. Any help or info is greatly appreciated ! Thanks!

Does anyone know of 'goddess of time' logo jpg file

I am looking to make replacement labels for some repair parts vials I have and would like to use the Bulova logo on them .. much like the style Elgin did..

Would anyone know where to find such a file or have a lead on a clear simple advert that could be duplicated? 

Thanks

Bulova Accutron Astronaut Homage

It would be nice if it was Bulova coming out with an Archive Series model for the early 1960's Accutron Astronaut. Until that day, here is a nice 1:1 homage from Forstner that is coming out soon!

First PVD Coated Watch by Bulova

Submitted by JimDon5822 on

Here is a watch out of scope of MyBulova that I had to share from a historical perspective.   It is a 1974 Bulova Caravelle model #41893-9W.  It is a black PVD coated case with an amazing silver/blue/black "TRON" dial.   Doing research I found that the first PVD coated watch was credited to the 1972 Porsche Design experimental chronograph.    The next record of one I can find is a 1975 Heuer Monaco which is given credit as the first PVD coated production watch.  Quite rare and only 22 known to exist out of 100 or so produced.
