Ok got this out of a big jewelry lot. Front has no glass but it's in good shape. Not sure it's real though.
Back says :
Under a symbol , Bulova, Water Resistant, 9063-5020 then AO in a square, Swiss A then another symbol, 18k Gold.
As some of you will recall, a while back I posted a watch that had for it's only support a listing in the "Complete Price Guide to Watches". It was a tonneau shaped model dated 1928 and listed as "The Ambassador" in the Price Guide. The general consensus--though there was some notable descent--was that The Price Guide must be in error, because we all know that the Ambassador was square. Some even argued that the Price Guide is full of errors, though when challenged to present an example of an error in the Bulova listings, no one did.
Here is a pic of grandpaws watch that was passed down to me. It has m3 on back which is a 1963 and seriel # is 407785. It is anti magnetic and shock resistant, and self winding. I dont think it has ever been serviced, however the number nine is upside down. I would really like to know how that happened because it doesnt look like it has been moved. It appears perfectly aligned. Would like to know what model,how much it cost new, how much its worth now and if a schematic or repair manual is available for it.
Did we ever figure out what this is?
Can't remember... picked it up with that band relatively cheap.
Hello.
I recently found my father's old Bulova Astronaut.
First, I'd like a positive ID on this watch. The number suggests 1967 manufacture but can't figure out the serial number. Where can I find more information on this watch?
Second, the crystal is pretty scratched up. What would be the value of this watch and is it worth getting it repaired / cleaned up? The battery is the old Rayovac but I don't think they make it anymore. What is the best replacement battery?
Can't find anything about this one, $9.99 on the bay. Anyone know? N3 on caseback, N2 on
mvmnt.
So this is my latest flea market find. Its a square 14k rose gold plate with a 15J 10AX from 1941. I cant find it in the ads, yet the case looks familiar to me. Problems it has:
Crystal is chipped and badly scratch, second hand is missing, crown is worn out, and it looks like someone ripped apart the balance (broken) as the hair spring is dislocated and roller is missing.
I have a generic rose gold crown,I think i have a second hand, and crystal to be found.
If anyone has a complete 10ax balance that used or donated PM me please.
My mom gave this to me quite a few years back, I just can't remember if she said it was hers or her mothers watch. I stayed up for hours last night looking through all of the archived ads on this website, but no luck finding something similar.
Hi, giving this another try, hopefully these pics are better!
Again, I appreciate anyone's insight as to this piece,
