Hello I was recntly gifted this lovely old Bulova ,The good folks at the Bulova and Accutron forum identified it as part no 385-3y and sent me here in my quest.

Dear friends.

I need to change thé watch crystal on a watch from about 1930. How can I determine wath crystal I need.

Kind regards

When did Bulova start stamping the case number on the inside of the case back?

I found this 2011 article you may have seen it. Your IPhone could be used to regulate and adjust your watch for $20. I haven't tried it yet and sure it wont be as good as the real thing but it probably works better than guessing.

I am attempting to find the name of a Ladies 1924 Model (date code but also is stamped 25.  I have looked through ads but have not found a name (any that were legible)  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
Looking for a crystal for a 1974 Bulova Accutron snorkel 666 as per my watch photo.
Case shows number 7526-3 if that's of help.
Would be interested in finding the correct part number if someone has catalogues of such info.
Thank you.

i just got this watch,  was running  but guy i bought it from had unscrewed the glass, removed the bezel, in order to take a picture of the movement.  now it won't run.   also,   having difficulty putting bezel back in.   from what i understand,  you have to remember exactly the angle of the "split" on the winder and then push the bezel in?   

Where can i purchase the case screws that hold the 11AFACD movement in place in a mid 60's snorkel Diver

How is the panel determining a manufacture date when for example the case is stamped L1 and the movement is stamped L2? From some of the comments I've read it seems to me some are using the case first and some are using the movement first. Now I'm not a panel member but for my own collection I use case first. What say you guys?

Here’s some related watch history that Bulova collectors might find interesting. The history of watch-making is directly related to the Bulova story because…what else motivated Joseph Bulova into the watchmaking business in the first place?.
