Is this Bulova a knock off?

Submitted by denisesanborn1 on June 16, 2022 - 12:55pm

I do not know the year but I do remember my father wearing this in the 80's. I took to the watch store today for a cleaning so I can hand it down to my son. They said it was likely a knock off. I didn't ask further questions and they would not open the back of it. Under Bulova on the face it does say ACCURATE not Acutron and I have not been able to pull up any Bulova ACCURATE watches. Is it likely a knock off?

So... Pick a handful.... What's your favorite style from the 1920's? 😊

#1, #2, #3, or #4?

#1 The oblong ladies either enamel or jeweled, usually 14K?

#2 The parisien knockoffs?  Almost exact copies of the Elgin series of the timeframe?

#3 The "Sports Watches" Lido type series?  Not pictured are a couple others I have in the Miss America and the Lady Lindy...

#4 The other Miss America Miss Liberty types... Now some of these will also extend into the early 1930's...

What say you?

Oceanographer G dial variations

Submitted by Tayloreuph on May 14, 2022 - 10:03am

Hiya;

I'm working on determining how many variations of the G dial were produced. I've currently found 6, (excluding the V variant) and was wondering if there was anything on these forums about it? I'm looking for year made for some variants. Any information is helpful. Thanks.

I have an older 'vintage' Hadley expansion band.  these are put together 'differently' than the current straight line U clip expansion bands. The Vintage ones are more SCISSOR LIKE Link to link, expansion).  For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to remove links to size the band.  what's the trick??  I cannot locate any online articles or video's on how this is accomplished.
