Introducing the Academy Award President

Submitted by bourg01 on

Good Morning!

Picked this up yesterday.Here we have an excellent example of the interchangeability of Bulova parts. A President case with the Academy Award curtain dial. More info to follow on the movement when I get it in hand. Go figure? Bulova didn't do this.

 Hmmm, pretty small picture, check it out here.

Bulova with curved case

Submitted by Reverend Rob on

 Hello all, I am a new member, and have a Bully here that has so far defied identification. She's a 7AP movt with a decidedly curved 10K GF case, including GF back, with the odd addition of three A's on the movt. I think the date code is a shield, so that makes it 1939, which seems right. Anyway, it runs particularly well, so the dial is going off to International to be re-done, as it is a little too far gone.  My apologies to the purists, but finding another dial for this one is unlikely. 

Please help ID my Grandfather's Watch

I hope that someone can help me ID this watch.  It was given to my Grandfather by my Grandmother for Christmas in 1930.  After my grandparents passed, my mother got the watch and put the non-authentic band on it.  This watch has great sentimental value to me, so I do not intend to sell it; I would just like to get the genealogy of it, have the second hand repaired, new authentic band, and have it cleaned.
