New newspaper ads for 1932/33 Lone Eagle resembling an engraved version of 1932/33 Trident

Submitted by William Smith on February 11, 2013 - 8:17pm

Several recent ads have become available showing a Lone Eagle looking very much like the engraved Trident ads of the same period.  One 1932 ad also shows an unengraved Lone Eagle - looking even more similar to the Trident ads of this period.

Hello everyone.  I'm going through my project box and cleaning house.  Most of these are projects mind you... some are in better shape than others.  Some run... some don't... all will need a cleaning regardless.  Some need crystals... hands... redials.  I mostly got them because the cases were pretty good.

I am a new member and I recently posted a question in this forum topic with no response, I have been collecting vintage Bulovas for a while but have been bitten by the Accutron bug. I don't want my 214 to become a paperweight so I'm looking for a highly recommended  repair person preferably near me in the Hudson Valley area of NY. Thanks for your help,Jim W.

Now I'm hoping this does not fall under how much is my watch worth.

My question is your opinion on the difference in value between a 10RG watch and its twin in 14k RG.

The reason I ask is I purchase a 14k that turned out to be a 10k. Do you think it is really enough to complain about?

Bulova 9L and 10L

I found some Bulova parts boxes that are labeled 9L and 10L and inside they both have containers labeled "10AN" In other words, some containers say 9L 10AN and the others say 10L 10AN. What movement would a 9L 10AN be versus a 10L 10AN?
I know "L" stands for "Ligne" which represents movement diameter size...but what would be the difference between a 9L 10AN and 10L 10AN do you think? It has me baffled.....

Vintage Bulova Wooden Box - Does anyone know what this box was used for?

Hi

We found this Bulova box while cleaning out my grandmothers house and I have been unable to find a picture of anything similiar on the internet.   Was wondering if anyone here might know what it was used for.   There was a watchmaker who lived at my grandmothers for a period of time - so we are thinking it may have been part of a store display for watchbands -  have tried multiple searches with no luck.  -  don't have the box here today to measure exactly but it is about 12" x 9" and 3" deep.
