Hi! Does anyone know where I can find a movement, dial and case back for the American Girl HH in white gold?

Thank you!!

Hi Leah -  The HH American Girl is yellow gold. The movement for the HH is 5AD, you can probably find one in an on-line auction site like eBay. The case back will be difficult, the best you could probably hope for is to find a donor watch as well.

Hello,

I have a dozen or so vintage ladies Bulovas I have yet to catalog. I'll look through and see if I can find something for you. I may also be able to find something through my local watch dealer. He literally has tubs of watches in his shop.

Thank you so much for checking! The watch was a gift from my grandfather, and I'd really love to be able to put it back together :)

A previous commenter mentioned that the American Girl HH was only in yellow gold, but I thought I saw a white gold option mentioned in an ad from the period. Here's a photo in case it's helpful.

Hello,  Yes it came in yellow and white.  I saw a complete one for sale on a British site recently.  Best bet for just the movement would probably be ebay.

Hello,

Looks like the closest I have on hand is an M2 5AD, 21 Jewel. In a casing similar to a Miss America. Haven't found another one quite like it on here. I'm not sure if the movement could be used.

There is currently an exact match for this on eBay it’s about 100$ but it’s complete and working to my knowledge
