The battery on the above watch expired , it was a 329 and I purchased a Accucell-1 to replace it. After inserting the battery the watch did not work so I immediately removed the new battery in case this may damage the watch .  Is there a special technique to start the watch or does this mean that the watch mechanism has expired.  Thanks.

Advice for Accutrons

I have felt some kind of connection for Bulova watches since i first began collecting. My first watch was a Marine Star from my uncle and i now own about 7 other Bulovas. Since i started noticing watches i have been interestd in the Accutrons, i love the concept and find them fascinating. Recently i bought 3 of them cheap with hopes that at least one would work. Unfortunately none do. I bought a 2210 "Dress" watch, a steel Floppy Football 214 and a gold 218 that resembles a tuning for upside down. I did my research and order the correct batteries and adapters.

Okay, been a while since I've visited.  My daily driver conked out last week (Accutron Breckenridge) so I took it to Jareds Jewlers.  They told me $75.00 to replace !!!! WTF ???  Was "informed" that since it is a waterproof watch, the seal would need to be broken, resealed and tested..... and they would have to send to out !!  I said I still don't see $75.00 in that explaination ...  What do you guys think ?  Now I replace my and friends batteries all the time.  I will just need to get a smaller driver.

Bulova 8AN Part Question

I have an 8AN movement....and the clutch wheel lever flew away on me and is lost. I have made some inquiries and I've been told it is a FHF (Font) 1146. However, I was also old Jules Borel lists a FHF 1146 as interchangeable with the Bulova 10AN/10AE/10AX. I doubt the 8AN clutch lever is the same as the 10AN. Does anyone have a 8AN parts movement that would be willing to sell me a cluth lever? Its the only thing standing between me and a running watch! Thank you kindly fellow members. Rob
