I have an 11anc movement that is missing both (small wheel with two screws) crown wheel screws. Can someone look up the part number, or tell me of an interchangable part from another movement? As far as I can tell that is all that is missing from this movement and I could use it in another case...

Thanks.

I'm looking for a recommendation for a Knoxville or Nashville-based jeweller to open/inspect a Bulova antique watch, ca. 30's.  Watch appears to be vintage, no marks on the yellow body or ss back, square convex lens, overall watch size about 1" square.  It's basically a rounded square with slightly rounded sides and step-down rounded case at 12 and 6 positions.  Dial is Roman, rose band encloses numerals, the balance is off-white.  Sent to Bulova repair facility on Long Island and they returned it without opening it.

Need an 11ANC For Parts

Submitted by EverydayCats on
Forum topics

 I have an unusual Bulova that I want to restore, but the movement "11ANC" is missing a couple parts...at least, maybe more when I dissasemble. I found one on eBay for $40, but that's way more than I have to spend.

Looks like the Balance jewels are missing, one screw from the two screw crown wheel is missing, and probably a part of the winding assembly. Since I can;t be sure what else is missing, it may be wise to simply find a working movement. So, any leads to a replacement movement or parts would be appreciated.

Thanks
