Hi everyone, I'm in need of as many 11ANACB sweep second wheels (Part #6K) as I can get. Used, new, donor movements, anything would help! I have some beautiful Sea Kings that are 99% ready to go, but all require a longer pinion than the wheels I have on hand. I have a ton of new old-stock Bulova and Caravelle parts (as well as mainsprings and AS & ETA parts) that I'm happy to trade or give away to anyone in need. If anyone is ever looking for a part, just send me a message and I'll see if I have it for you. Thank you in advance!

That's a rare one, I don't have that either sadly. I have a good number of 12's, a handful of 13's and 16's, a small box of Junghans 89's (Bulova Wrist Alarm parts), some 17AH, a lot of 11AERC, but mostly parts for 5's through 11's. A huge number of 7AK hands that are compatible with an array of movements... an enormous box of Caravelle parts. I'll try to inventory it all one day and I'll post a link here. I have very few plates (apart from what's in the donor movement collection).

Seems odd, I know. I buy lots of parts, collections of movements, damaged Bulova watches, etc, then rebuild them to model conformity. Those #6K wheels come in different heights and I'm lacking the longer ones. I have an 11ANACB and an 11ANACD that both need a taller pinion so I can install the sweep second hands. The 11ANACB has a rounded dial and doesn't use a dial rest and the 11ANACD has a flat dial so it does and out of all the wheels I have for that family of movements, not one is long enough! It's certainly frustrating. One is a 1969 Sea King BN with a beautiful black dial and the other is a 1972 SK with a unique blue dial. The last one is a work in progress as I need the correct case and that distinctive orange sweep second hand as well.
