Recently found my father’s watch, which is way beyond repair but I was able to get the model number and do a little research. I was referred to you after writing to the Bulova company. I would love to replace the watch and proudly wear it. I appreciate any help you can give me in my quest. 
Thank you

Hi guys! New member here, thank you for the opportunity to be part of the forum.

Accutron Pulsation

I was attracted to a particular model being a medic myself previously for this model. I managed to get the dial and movement ( not tested yet as the battery 344 is not available here) i was wandering if anyone can point me to where i can get the case to house it? Many thanks in advance!

The Vintage Accutron

       "I feel now after a decade of vintage timepiece restoration and service on Accutron's, I can finally put to rest some of the crazy rumors and fallacies about these wonderful timepieces." I'm sure you have noticed the new swiss Bulova's with the Accutron logo. There is very little in common with a 214 and 218 Tuning Fork Movements. Bulova has opted for more a conventional and modern manual or automatic movement and their new Tuning Fork movements is a refined more modern approach to vintage Accutron's. 

Restoration when is it too far or not far enough

Hi folks, thanks for adding me to the group. My question is;

When restoring these 1940's and '50's time pieces, when is it detrimental to the restoration, ie, should the case be left alone if it is in need of replating, or should a dial be left alone?

I have a number of quite rare pieces that I have recently serviced, including replacing a balance staff and getting the movement to work with only 0.3ms beat error.

Any help, views or advice would be most welcome.

I am in need of a caseback for a Vietnam War issue Bulova Mil-W-3818A. I have the watch but just need the correct caseback. If anyone has a spare and is willing to part with it, I'd appreciate it. 

Accuquartz LCD 226 (mod. 2260) LCD display

Hello everyone, I've recently acquired a Bulova Accuquartz 226, the forgotten LCD counterpart of the 228 "Big Block" LED watch. From the little (if almost non existent) material I found on the internet, it seems to be quite rare. Mine -miraculously- works but it needs a new LCD panel, as the one on my watch fades to black after a couple of minutes I wear it on the wrist.

I'd be very grateful if anyone of you has the part I'm looking for. :)
