Kirk Model

Trying to find out how long the Kirk model ran. The only example in the DB is a '52. I have what I think is a '53...waiting on the panel to let me know. But there is an interesting watch on Ebay from '64 marked clearly with an M4. The face also has Bulova and 23 Jewels written on it. The hands look like '60's era hands. But I can't find anything in the '60s even close to it.

Accutron 214 running, stopping, and starting again.

I recently had my 1965 Accutron with a 214 movement repaired with a sealed, new old stock, index wheel by a shop that said they knew Accutrons well and had sold them new when they came out.

But, the watch seems to like to stop and then start again, especially right after setting it. It will also sometimes do this when sitting still or when being put on the wrist.

When it stops, it still hums. The battery hasn't been replaced in probably about a year, but I thought maybe this stopping and starting may be caused by a low, dying, battery.

Goddess Of Time Case

Can you tell me what era or time period this particular Goddess Of Time Case was used?

Note: I originally got this with a piece of junk watch inside but I was only bidding for the case anyway. But it seems that Goddess Of Times' don't come around often so if any of the panel members has need for it I will be happy to give it to you for the price of postage.

Thanks

Can gold filling be repaired or is it better left alone?

I bought this watch recently (as best I can tell looking through this site is that it matches this one - https://www.mybulova.com/watches/1938-minute-man-8377). I've never really been interested in watches until recently when some interesting/valuable pieces came into my hands via my step-father (a long retired watch maker).

9AN Movement

I bought a grab bag of "Bulova" watches. LOL

#1 was a fake bulova dial on an Alton Watch Company movement inside a case made by Master for a Sutton watch. LOL

#2 as it is...is a 1951 Ruxton "A" with an incorrect crystal

#3 is the one in question. A bulova dial...unknown year and model inside an unidentified case (no markings) but the movement is a working 9AN 1927 (square date code), 15 jewel. Was wondering if there is anyway to identify which model it came out of by the serial # which is 307273

Thanks
