Good afternoon,
I've been searching the Web, E-Bay etc for a 1948 movement for spares for my watch. The part I was looking for is the " Bulova Stamped Button" which was on the watch when I received it over 30 years ago, however those that I found were unstamped.
The nearest I found was a 7 AK movement vintage 1949 with a stamped button, but not a Duncan judging by the Dial and I tust this will be a suitable replacement.
When I posted my watch on the site one of the panellists felt that the 1948 Duncan had a plain button, and this may well be correct. I would wecome member views and knowledge on this, with maybe a difinitive time scale that the stamped button was introduced.
Thank you, Legsrooney.

Hi Geoff,
Thank you the information on the "Bulova 7AK" I have purchased a movement 7AK that has a signed/stamped crown which I hope to have fitted to my own watch.
Sorry about the delay in replying to you. This was due to the notification E-mail going into my Bulk mail which I only checked this morning. Patrick

Thank you for replying to my mail.
It is the winding crown I was referring to and have now purchased a 7AK movement with this feature, to have fitted to my own watch ( Duncan 1948) by my watchmaker.
I purchased this with fingers crossed, that this will fit as the E-Bay listing said it was a 1949 7AK, and I'm unceratin if the 7AK was the same movement and contruction across all the years it was fitted to a range of watches.
Sorry for the delay in replying due to the mail notification going into my Bulk mail.
Kind regards,
Patrick
