I will always think of this man as a gentle, helpful and above all very friendly man, and I received this and another watch from him today, as a gift. I thank him for this very generous addition to my collection, to be cherished always, even though I don't know the model!  Thanks, JP.

Hi all

I am trying to help someone find a back to a 1951 watch (at least thats the movement code). The case looks like the Duo-wind / Thayer  but the dial and movement certainly are not. It has a 10bm movement and a dial I am unsure if it even comes from the same time period. The back has obviously been lost so nothing to go on from there. Any ideas, ever seen one with this movement before? I'm wondering if its parts of different models.. Photo below

Picked this "Bad Boy" up a while back from a old watchmakers/jewelrs estate who was reportedly a Bulova Employee back in the day. After leaving Bulova, he opened a Jewelry store in Collierville Tn.

Weighs a ton, case is metal, painted to look like wood. The four light blocks surrounding the outer perimeter are actually blocks of wood.

Hello. I recently refound an old watch I was given (and lost!) when I was about 12... It has a new leather strap, and when I got it I remember we took it to a jewellers to get it going - no idea what work was done, so no idea how "original" it is - and I havent tried getting the back off...

On the back it has L4 and the serial number 7556162 with BULOVA - Stainless Steel Back - Anti Magnetic - Shock Resistant - Self Winding - Water Tite

I've seen other similar watches online (here and ebay), but none with these lugs... anyone know what it is?

Can you please help. I have two questions: Is this a Sea-king and did the bracelet come with the watch when it was new.

I have seen this case before, but it is not showing up in the database. Is this a Clipper?

THanks

I've got a nice 1965 Bulova automatic with 11ALAC movement. Should restore nicely, but I need one of those stainless steel threaded collar rings that holds the back in place. It should be 28.3 mm OD, and 26.7mm ID. The watch case itself is 30.9mm diameter, so it's a bit smaller in diameter than the average size watch of 33mm, but not quite a boy's size (or three-quarter size, some people refer to it). Hence, the collar ring is a little bit smaller than your average size. Pics of the watch are below. Please PM to brtime if you can help. Thanks!
