1958 His Excellency 10k RGP vs 14k gold cases

Submitted by JP71624 on May 7, 2017 - 12:55pm

Hey all,

 

I've been on the forum for a long time, but rarely post. I collect and restore Bulovas; I've got dozens of models around and about. After my third '58 His Excellency acquisition I noticed what may be a clear identifier between the 10k RGP and 14k gold models.

Here are model's 'E' and 'D', respectively, with their 10k RGP cases:

4 AF Working Movement

Some time ago Reverend Bob wrote ...

4AE,  4AF,  4AH, 4AN, 4AS,  4AW, and 4FL are interchangeable. Based on the FHF ebauche:

FHF 52, some with Breguet overcoil. 

.... I have a Platinum 38 Diamond case in need of a working Bulova movement. Old (no name) movement measures 21 x 9 mm. I think the eubache for the 4 series movements above would work.

Thanks  Ken S

 

1963 Sea King Crown?

I purchased this Bulova recently and took it in for a cleaning. They replaced the crown but I think they popped on a generic one. I have seen new old stock crowns available online. Does anyone know the correct size of crown or better yet the part or stock number?

Bulova 23 Watch Back

I found this Bulova 23 that I want to restore, but I am concerned about the back. All the similar Bulova's we have on our website show a normal style backing for Bulova. As you can see from the picture it is quite different, any ideas?
