Everything below is copied verbatum, parenthesis appear in the original record of proceedings from the US Congress June 14, 1930 in reference to a Senate Proceeding November 13, 1929. What is interesting is this point:

     Second. Knickerbocker watch Co., Westfield Watch Co., Arrow Jewelry Mfg Co., American Standard Warch Case Co. are listed separately but in reality are nothing but subsidiaries of Bulova Watch Co.

Are people putting blue anodized hands in watches for the "blued" look? Examples posted ---

I have a set of cathedral hands that are a beautiful "rainbow" blue if looked at in the right angle. 

 

Lately I've came across some watches with hands that look ANODIZED blue ... are they installing these to try to get the "rainbow aged" blued look, or are they really just naturally aged to a blue color?

 

Thanks! Blued cathedral

Crystal fell out of 54' squadron, how to reinstall?

I was cleaning my 1954 Squadron and the crystal fell out.  I'm not really feeling glue on the edges, and it doesn't seem like it has a beveled edge to just press it back in.

Figured I'd ask before I end of cracking this thing.  What's it going to take to get it reinstalled... glue... a press ... or just press it back in carefully?
