I just bought a 17 drawer crystal cabinet stuffed full of SUC crystals and can supply just about any thing in the SUC line as there about 1700 crystals there. I am in the process of getting an SUC catalog so I will be able to identify most of the crystals. Any one having an SUC catalog older than 1960 that is willing to send me a copy would be greatly appreciated and we can work out a trade of some sort or cash.

Hello,
Do you think that a too short mainspring can make a watch run fast. The end broke off the new spring about 3/4 inch from the end so I tried heating it and bending a new tongue. Which to my surprise worked. But it runs fast I demaged the watch checked the hairspring etc and all looks good. So I am suspect of the MS. Any thoughts?
Hello,
Looking for a 10 AE mainspring. Let me know if anyone has one to sell. Thanks
First I would like to thank DarHin and all the Mybulova members that help me find an original crystal glass for it as the plastic one was no good. I bought this one a while ago you can see how it was before here:
Hello,
I found this watch in the bottom of a box I got at an auction.
I have no idea on what model this is or if it is even a real Bulova watch.
The face and back both are marked Bulova but the inside workings are marked Zodiac Ltd.
I do know that the diamonds above the 12 and below the 6 are real.
Any information or help would be appreciated.
Thank you!
1960 President,10K RGP. Vintage Kreisler Da Vinci strap. Both in pristine condition. I love the way this sits on the wrist, the offset lugs present the watch at an angle to bring the face readily to view . The most iconic of the 4 1960 Presidents IMO. Now designated "OW". Thanks Lisa, Bruce and william.
Pictures of watch as received .
It was ticking a bit, but would stop. Cleaned balance, a couple spots of oil, and it's running great.
Cleaned up nice. (No pics yet.)
But I'm still not sure what model to list it under. Blue dial is rather minimalist. Nice matte finish. Hour markers are flat with luminous beads right at the edge of dial.
I don't think I've seen the whale with just the outline before. (not filled in.)
Movement = 11ANACD
Thanks!
Stainless Steel Watertight Case measures 34mm lug to lug x 28.5mm non inclusive of the Crown. Butler finish Dial shows Radium Arabic numerals, Bulova signature and tracks are printed in Black with the Register numerically calibrated at 10 Second intervals. Hour and Minute Hands are Radium style. (missing Center Seconds Hand?) Vintage Display ad is Dated 1954.
I want to sell an old book on watch repair from 1947, and want to know if it's alright to advertise on here, because it is not pertinent to Bulova's alone. Can I put it on the site as I would rather my fellow Bully lovers got first dibs.
Looks like a Ambassador has a 10BT 17 Jewel movement. Running strong and keeping time. Any thoughts?
