What is it? - [ Archived ]

Hello,

First post from me. Thought it would be worthwhile joining the forum as my collection of Bulova's is growing...currently three including this one and an Accutron 2181 and an Accuquartz.

Wanted a manual for the collection and liked the movement of this one, the 11AFC, but dont know more than that about it, such as model number etc. The dial is grubby and has a raised effect, movement working fine, and just about to go for a service.

1960 accorning to movement and case

Serial 161575

Pretty older ladies I think...  just snagged it mucho cheaply but that movement seems elder. Can't see the datestamp clearly... maybe an astrick = 1924?

Presently some myBulova.com evaluation panel members interested in Bulova military watches are commenting about the differences/similarities of two mil spec watches. The watch in question listed in Recent Comments as Bulova 1960 Military Issue 3818A http://mybulova.com/watches/1960-military-issue-3818a-2282 .

looking for more information on my watch. I have been unable to find the model and the date of the watch is still unclear to me.

I got a request for a model id on my website for this watch. Bulova International LTD. Did a quick google on that and found the are located in Canada. Anyone ever see this before? Sorry I don't know the jewel count.

Snagged this today... what do we have here gents?

 Submitted for your august perusal and commentary.  I just got this one and have not been able to identify to my satisfaction.  Looks like a 1936 Banker, but the lugs are not correct, nor is the jeweling.  It is in a stamped Bulova case. Movement is a 10AE 15J date coded to 1936.  Case diameter without the crown is 1.025", 1.256" across the lugs and 13mm between lugs.  Crystal dia. is .900".    I would also like to get a crystal, so and ID would be helpful.

I came across this different looking Bulova on the bay

http://www.mybulova.com/watches/1969-unknown-3156

Very different looking (well, compared to my other Bulova's anyway), although at 1969 it's also a lot "newer" then most of 'em.  Anyone seen one like this before?

I'm trying to estimate the value of my Bulova watch, or at least to find out its model.

can you help ?

here it is.

The front side says: Bulova Automatic

In the movement it says:

LWD 283

Forty 40 jewels unadjuted

Swiss

Boluva 404

and the back of the case cover says:

823117



Thanks for your help
