Mainspring source

I'm looking for a mainspring for a 7 EDAD. Advice on a good place to aquire one would be appreciated. Is that the same movement as the 7 EDA with a date function, hence the additional D?

 

Thanks,

Wanted - 10BZ 2 Part Water Proof Stem

Submitted by DarHin on June 13, 2012 - 6:02pm

I think the Bulova part #'s are #16B for the male (crown side) and #16C for the female movement side. The length on my old female movement side is 9.88mm. My Bestfit catalogs don't list any stems for the 10BZ.

I want to thank John (JP) for taking the time to look through his stems and sending a few candidates. Unfortunately, none of them will work.

I can trade a crystal if you need one or $$$.

Thanks

Two- Part Stem Removal Made Easy!

Submitted by bobbee on June 13, 2012 - 5:18pm

Here is something I discovered not ten minutes ago. If you have a "waterproof" watch with a two-part stem, the usual way to remove the stem is to pull out the crown, then wind back a little to release the "bind" of the stem, and then pull the stem out. On four of my watches I have two where it is difficult and traumatic to remove the stem, and it worries me that I might one day break it, as I did on my Surf King's. Well, on my new Water-tite I posted recently, I could not remove the stem, and have just tried it again, but had a Brainwave.

Telemetre Watch

Got this a few months ago and forgot about it. No date anywhere. Movement is an ETA 2824-2, with 25 jewels. Case measures 36mm. W/O crown, 45mm. lug to lug, 18mm. lug gape. Hands and numbers are gilt. From top to bottom on the dial are the words "Telemetre, BULOVA, Automatic, Swiss Made". Case shows areas of bad corrosive gilt loss on the back, but only slight rubbing on the lugs. Since cleaning crud off of the hairspring it keeps excellent time.
