Hello new to the site. I have a 1956 bulova 23 calendar watch, movement 10bpadc. Aging watch repair man said I need a lower cap jewel for the watch, or the entire balance assembly if possible. This must be a relatively rare movement and I can't find what I need. Anybody got this part? Or, if not, anyone know whether this movement is interchangeable with other, more common movements? Any help is greatly appreciated!
Hi There,
According to my 1963 Bulova Interchangable parts catalog you are looking for the following...
#82B Lower Shock Resist Cap Jewel - 10CSC
If you have seen Bulova parts packages this makes sense. The 10CSC is the "basic model" for the jeweling. You will see below the balance complete has a different basic model.
You may also be interested in:

The Balance Complete would be:
#54 Balance Complete (Flat) - 10BOAC
Hope this helps.
