I am working on a 2009 Bulova Chronometer.  It's Case# is C852441.  It needs a new crown (8mm in diameter).  I cannot seem to locate one - according to Bulova, they don't make them anymore.  

Does anyone have any ideas about where I might find one - or at least a waterproof crown of similar size?

Thanks!

I've got a nice 17AE 21 jewel movement that needs a new case. Preferably gold tone. 17AE I believe  is a 12s.

Or is someone has a press fit bezel and crystal for a 12s case :) gold tone, that'll work too.

Would consider buying non-working watch if someone has a 17AE with a nice case, can always use parts.

email me [email protected] or respond here.

I haven't seen many packet watch posts.... is any body out there interested in Bulova pocket watches?

Hello folks - brand new here.  I'm looking for information on what plating materials were used on Bulova A-11s from around 1942.  Mine does not look like chrome.  Maybe nickel?

Thanks,

Just got this watch, and for the life of me, I can't crack the case. Tried multiple wrenches, but it won' budge. There does seem to be some gasket but it's not even. oping it's not x thread, but does look it.

Anyone familiar with this case.... Case Serial # is 1-274019.

thanks in advance

My Bulova Aqua Queen, 1965 vintage with movement 7BPC has cleaned up well cosmetically. New crystal, and case looking good. I put it on Watch-O-Scope and it is running about 8 sec/day fast, amplitude 334 degrees and beat error 7.8ms. I think this looks pretty good. Is there anything I can/should do for this? Is cleaning and lube asking for trouble?

Best,

Did Bulova ever use Master watch case co cases. 

I am new to this site am I allowed to post images of a watch if it is not 100% Bulova, ie a Master case?

I am new to this forum, therefore, I hope I am using and searching the website correctly.  I inherited a 1926 ladies, 14K white gold filled, watch with sapphire in crown, for which I cannot discern any information.  There is no patent number.  I am hoping that maybe someone more knowledge can enlighten me.  Here's what I do know:

Manufacture year = 1926

Movement model = 6W

Movement code = Triangle

Movement jewels = 15

Movement serial # = 73032

Case serial # =517997

Case shape Rectangle with cut corners

I have a 10 BNCH that has a bad retainer on the lower balance jewel that needs replacing.

If someone has one, a donor movement for sale, or a part number cross-reference I would welcome a reply.

Hello,

I would like to have some information about this Bulova Longchamp purchased in 1979.

I would like to know which kind of movement has

During these years the buckle has been lost and I really appreciate if somebody could tell me which kind of buckle did it host in origin. 

Moreover, I suspect that the crown is not original, again I would like to know how was it

Many thanks

Hi,

I've been working on restoring two late 1950s Sea Kings (I think).

One of the things I was not able to accomplish is fitting a fresh gasket to case. This is supposed to be a waterproof watch, but when I first cracked open the case I had to remove the old gaskets because they were deteriorated beyond use. Unfortunately I have not been able to find any NOS gaskets for this watch, and none of the flat gaskets I have in my assortment package from Otto Frei come close to fitting (all too wide plus too small or too large diameter).
