Watch Repair

I have enjoyed vintage watches for a couple of years now.  I have my Grandfather's Bulova, it has a 12-B movement.  I understand that this movement is actually a Junghans 89 (?).  It was given to him by his lodge in 1953.  It is not running and is missing the two (2) extra knobs.  I understand that this is an alarm watch and I am assuming that these push buttons or knobs control the alarm.

The case says that it is 14K, solid I beleive. 

 I have a Senator that I am restoring and it has the domed crystal. I may be able to buff the current crystal, but it has a slight, but visable, crack on the left wall. It measures about 23.5mm X 17.3mm. The movement is an 8AH so I am dating the watch to about 1946.

The crystal suppliers have Senators labled as "A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J" and I have no idea whch it is. It is not marked on the case—inside or out—and has no marking on the case back other than a serial number.

Hi,

This is my first posting on this forum but I have been a member for a while.  I have been skulking and reading others' posts even longer than that.

Can anyone recommend a good repair/restoration person in the Jacksonville, FL area. I would be willing to go as far as Daytona Beach, Gainesville or Orlando. Any help would be appreciated.

Any one have one?

Hi there,

Does anyone have recomendations / experiences of getting Bulova Accutron Astronauts serviced / repaired here in the UK. I have sadly inherited one from my late father which I would like to get checked out before I start using it.

From asking around and googling the place I keep coming across is the "Croydon Service Centre", www.watchrepairs.co.uk/index.htm. Has anyone experience of this firm and the quality of their work?

I was looking for a 30j ,10BZAC donor movement which I want to have in stock in case I ever need spare parts. I am looking for one for quite some time now and they seem to have become scarce.

What I do come across quite frequently is a 23j version with the same movement designation 10BZAC. Was the 10BZAC produced as a 23j and 30j and if so are the parts interchangeable? Of course except for that parts that make the jewel difference.

Hi, I'm in need or a 10AN balance bridge, a 1926/27 version to be more precise. The one I have below seems to have a broken top balance staff pivot bearing. Stud pattern on brodge needs to match below. I have the regulator, its just been removed for the photos.

The effect of this is that the balance wheel is loose even though the balance staff pivots are fine..

 Hi All, I have a Bulove oceanographer snorkel 666ft watch, movement type 11BLACD. I am in need of a replacement stem and crown. Can anybody recommend me to a good source for such parts. I have searched the net but have not been able to find parts specifically for this movement number. Can anyone help!?

thanks in advance!

Ben.

I hope ya'll can help me since I seem to have found a watch with a rather rare movement.  I have a 1932 Bulova Jump Hour that needs a new balance staff.  It has 13AT movement.  A balance staff from the 10AC, 10AT, 13AB, 13AC, 13AL, or 13AN would work.  There maybe other movements/balance staffs that would work in this watch, I'm not sure.  Below is a picture and relevant info of the type of watch I have.  Thank you very much with your help in this matter.
