Deep Sea Chrono

Can someone confirm whether the case back on the deep sea chrono is friction fitted or screw down? I suppose I should know but it is not apparent to me and I don't want to do anything until I know for certain. If it is a screw down, is there a specific wrench to use and does someone want to part with one?

Looking for 11 ALACD Reversing Wheel Parts

Hi everyone!

My name is Jesse and I'm based in Sydney. This is my maiden post so hopefully I've done things right. I'm not a professional watchmaker but more of a part-time hobbyist and on my plate lately, I've got this Bulova 11 ALACD that has a missing winding stem and crown. Moreover, upon investigation have found one of the reversing wheel (i think that's what it's called) has a broken pivot. This works in tandem with another reversing wheel and are in charge of winding the mainspring in both directional swing of the oscillating weight.

‘57 President G hands

Hi there,

             I’m just wondering if anyone would know the measurements of the hour and minute hands of the gold dial ‘57 President G. I figure I’m not likely to find original parts on this one so if I can get an accurate length I might be able to find something really close. To the best of my limited knowledge they are black fils. Any help or advice would be more than welcome.

I'm looking for a NOS (preferred) or aftermarket crystal, or part # if no one has a crystal, for a Bulova Accutron 218 D, Case #2663. The crystal  measures exactly 29.65mm (according to my calipers). I've searched high and low for the part # with no luck.  Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks - Andy

The Apollo 15 Bulova Chronograph Watch

In February 2014, before the public knew of the existence of this watch, myBulova.com sent an email to the owner Dave Scott, requesting permission to release the first photograph of the Bulova chronograph wristwatch worn by Commander Scott during the Apollo 15 mission on the surface of the moon.

It was with great pleasure that on March 21 2014, myBulova.com was the first website in the world to publicly acknowledge the existence of this watch, the first and only Bulova watch to be worn by an astronaut on the surface of the moon.
