I found a 1946 Bulova that is for sale. It has a round face with a second hand at the bottom. It looks nice but the back is engraved from the giver to the receiver on 12/25/46. Would this affect the value? I really don’t know if it is a good price or not. If it is not breaking any rules could someone let me know a high and low price range? I am not asking for a “value” just don’t want to get “taken”. 🙂 Thank you!
Hello all, and thank you for allowing me to be part of this amazing Bulova resource. I sell vintage watch parts & materials on eBay. I recently acquired a large Bulova parts collection from a retired watchmaker and have been listing away for the last two weeks. Yesterday, I realized some of my sealed old stock parts are degraded and rusted, making them worthless. Now I am in a rush to go through the 100s of parts I've listed and check each for condition.
In 1970 my high school faculty gave me a Bulova watch as top male student. A few years late it was stolen from a college gym locker. If I have Case #, box, and date code, can the model be determined. I do not recall what it looked like, as it has been 50 years since I have seen it. I cannot add this watch to the website as I have no pictures of the watch, or the watch itself.
Hi,
I am looking for a Bulova 6AP movement for a 1929 Gloria please.
Thanks,

I just purchased the new Marine Star with the orange dial and would like to purchase a quality silicone band. Bulova said there’s not an option due to the unique pin setup.
Has anyone else tried to do this?
Is it possible to tighten the friction pinion on the 11AO* series movements? It has this oddball setup with a brass washer that sits in the cutout at the top of the friction pinion:
I've tried closing the hole with two round faced stumps but without any success:
Hi, apologies if I am posting in the wrong section. I am looking to buy a 1928 Bulova which has what I believe are called cathedral hands. I have looked on ebay and contacted a couple of sellers but without success. I can purchase hands that will fir the movement but I want the original hands from 1928. Esslinger cant help and a google search has been a waste of time. can anyone please reco a seller who might have these hands available. TIA. jack.
PS, I was hopinh to add a pic but I cant see any facilities for that
I have this orphaned case. The back is marked Waterproof to 666 Feet. Self winding. Antimagnetic. Stainless Steel Case.
The unusual thing is, as can be seen on the photo, is that the case appears to be mono block style. In that the case back does not remove.
The interior of the case back is marked as follows:
11H 9206 11HC
All of the markings seem to be Bulova marks (I assume).
The case design would suggest it is mid/late 1960s to early 1970s.
Any Ideas ?
Hello!
I am from Canada and I'm wondering does anyone know where would be a good place to search for a vintage Bulova women's watch?
Greetings all! New member here, desperately seeking a hard-to-find part. Along with other A-11 examples from Elgin and Waltham, I have been the proud owner of an early WWII Bulova A-11 with sterling silver case. Unfortunately, it has a plated crown, which is found on the majority of these watches, but obviously isn't the right one for the limited-production sterling silver case. Not only is it incorrect, but it stands out like a sore thumb because it is so shiny against the tarnished case. Just wondering if anyone knows of a source or even has a crown they'd be willing to sell so I can
