What is it? - [ Archived ]

I recently received this watch as a gift. Apparently the seller did not know much about the watch. I've done some research and can't find much that matches this particular Bulova. Any help in identifying model/year would be great. I have included images with as much information as I can find on the watch.

So I got this watch.  I check the ads but to no avail.  Case is L3.  I look through 1953/54 watches and discussions, finding Harrington and Ivanhoe for the case.  But the crystal.  And the diamond dial.  Then I open case and the 17J 8AE movement is from 1947.  O well.  I don't know these dials by model or year(s) at all! I can only say this watch was cobbled together after 1953..and that didn't require much research on my pary :)  Now what do I do.  Is it worthy of entry into the database?

 What do you think?

Hi,

On the left I believe to be an AIR WARDEN but with a silver dial

On the right

Picked up this a few years ago,

Stainless back number 0349480

Movement

1940 10AX 15J

Dial a bit damaged but nice looking watch all the same

I hope that someone may be able to help me identify a watch found after my father died.  It has an unusual case shape that  have not seen before.  The movement code is 11ANACD.  M9 on the back implies a 1969 build date.  I am trying to identify it so i can begin the refurbishing process for my son.  Any help would be appreciated

So if any preiod close Bulova watch can be put in a period correct dispaly box, on a Senator insert...after adding a period correct band......does it become a Senator?

The watch: 

Outside Case Back: Bulova 10k gold filled {w SN} 0490372

Inside Case Back:  Bulova fifth Ave New York.

Movement:  USA Bulova Watch Co. 17 jewel 7AP {w/ 1941 asterisk date symbol }  *

Sometime you see it and just have to buy it, regardless of the cost, your collection can't be complete without it! You snipe, YOU WIN!!! IT'S YOUR'S!!!!!

I picked this up from a co-worker this week, thinking it would be good for my 9 year old son who likes vintage watches. It is getting a nice black leather band. It runs great it is stamped M6 on the case and  M5 on the 7BPC movement. Case number is 2-108915. I am pretty sure its a ladies watch but it is the perfect size for a child. I cant find any info about it anywhere. Any info would be nice. Thanks

Hi

We beat this one up pretty good a few years ago- but I don't remember the outcome, and I had not opened it up at that time.  The old "thread" musta dissapeared when admin updated website a couple years ago.

I swear the moonphase index was indexing when I first got this.  Now I'm pretty sure I'm just forgetful.

Movement: 10AN 21J   6 adjustments, w/o date code/symbol or SN

Inside Case Back: Bulova Quality  Pat. Jan 11 1927  SN  1127945

Outside Case Back:   Open

I'll go look around the ad's to see if I can fine this or similar model.  Case is crisp!
