Unknown for now, but with this new cache of ad's that we have to go through, maybe something will match up.

It's dual winding, interestingly enough.

Yes it is. On the wrist or by crown.
This might be the the wrong place.
At some time soon I would like to have it serviced .
Are parts still available ?
It this movement by Bulova or an ETA?

Well it only took me eight years to notice this, but better late than never...

"Duo-Wind" or dual winding means winding in both directions of the rotor's rotation. The Bulova 10AUC is from the 9ABC, which is derived from the Felsa 700 Bidynator. 

Parts are available for these movts, but usually only from your friendly neighbourhood watchmaker, who has piles of obsolete stuff.

Does this actually have a 10AUC? The movement isn’t shown and there are no other models in the member registry with the 10AUC after 1951. There is a ‘66 Date King in the registry that says it has the 10AUC but the 10AUC isn’t a calendar movement so that’s not correct.

Amazing. Without the line books, we may never have properly ID'd this one.
