Is buying a nonrunning vintage accutron worth it?
Hi, I'm a noob to Bulova. I recently purchased a '72 mechanical SeaKing. Online, I've seen some beauties. The crownless accutrons, the asymmetrical cases & the astronaut all intrigue me.

Hi all, having just had the crown refitted to my watch after it popped out and stored for a few years l find l have forgotten how to set the date without damaging the mechanism. It has a day / date combination and l can, by trial, change the date by winding and rewinding the day setting between 10 and 2 to get the date to change over but it doesn't seem to engage properly. The option of pulling the crown out to a third setting doesn't seem to be there and l am reluctant to pull it out with any force.
Hello, I have decided to part with my collection of vintage bulovas. I have about 20 movements, 4 womens and the rest mens, 12 movements with cases, one is a ladies, four cases without movements and three case backs, I also have a bag of NOS parts. I can send images. Just email me at [email protected]. I will take them on a first contacted basis. Price is 200 for everything. Thanks for looking

cased one I think is his excellency 1948
I think a 1945 clipper with a 10Ak
11al in a nice square case
This is a long shot but does anyone have or know where I can find an Accutron 214 battery hatch cover? Perrin's in Toronto hasn't had them in decades and on ebay they're selling for $50 to $60 CAD plus shipping.
I was wondering , as a new Bulova collector, if anyone knows how to open up this watch.
It seems like the body is 1 piece and the only way i can see to open her up, is to remove the crystal.
Before i attempt to remove the glass, i would like to have a little feedback from someone who knows.
Thanks,
Egan.
P.S...can someone explain how to download pics onto this site, please
Hi folks;
I am new to this site.
Have discovered through another forum that Bulova's 7AK movement is at its heart an ETA 735.
In looking at the whole 7 series they all look ETAish.
So how many of Bulova's movements were based on brought in ebauches?
Given that they had a factory in Switzerland was it common practise for them to bring in movements and then finish them up ; send them to the USA; and then case and time them there.
Knowing how often this occurred would be helpful in sourcing parts.
Hi there! I am eagerly looking for a replacement bezel for my Snorkel. I attach a photo of the model
Many thanks in advance for any reaction.
This is odd. I have a Sellita movement that adjusts via a lever that must be pushed to either + or - to regulate speed. I recently purchased a 65B001 accutron automatic with 26 jewels yet it has the screw type adjustment found on ETA movements. The second hand seems much smoother as well. What exactly do I have. I’m confused at this point. Was this a transitional movement or what? Does anyone know? Please help me figure this out. Thx, Jonathan Williams.
I have a newer Bulova with the Sellita SW 200 movement. After nearly 2 months of adjustment, I am pleased to announce I’m getting an accuracy level of less than 1 sec/24 hrs. It is quite consistent with hardly any nighttime swing. I have been told this level of consistent accuracy is not possible with the new movement. I have been documenting the offset against the atomic clock every 24 hrs without resetting the watch to get a weekly/monthly result. Has anyone else had such good results with this movement or is this a complete anomaly? Thx, Jonathan Williams, Louisville KY
Hey all.
I called Perrins in Toronto and they don't have this stem, Also called Bulova Toronto and they wanted to sell me a used stem for $10 plus shipping.
I was directed to Jules Borel but I don't know if the 11ANAC is the same stem a the 11ANC.
Any help or advice would be appreicated.
