I just received a vintage Bulova watch, to me it looks like Ambassador same style but it has engraved sides 21 jewels 10 BA movement. But I cannot find a photo of it on this site. 

It won't let me put pictures on as too large, as I only use a phone,  Could anyone help

Just got this watch, and for the life of me, I can't crack the case. Tried multiple wrenches, but it won' budge. There does seem to be some gasket but it's not even. oping it's not x thread, but does look it.

Anyone familiar with this case.... Case Serial # is 1-274019.

thanks in advance

Did Bulova ever use Master watch case co cases. 

I am new to this site am I allowed to post images of a watch if it is not 100% Bulova, ie a Master case?

Hello,

I would like to have some information about this Bulova Longchamp purchased in 1979.

I would like to know which kind of movement has

During these years the buckle has been lost and I really appreciate if somebody could tell me which kind of buckle did it host in origin. 

Moreover, I suspect that the crown is not original, again I would like to know how was it

Many thanks

Francesco

1967 11ALCD movement. Was it possible to set the date on this movement without having to spin the hour hand 24 hours, in other words, a crown that pulled half way out for date and then full out for time ?

I can't find a data sheet or parts list for this movement, is there a good repository somewhere ?

Hi

I've gotten into restoring and repairing 1950s era Bulova (and Gruen and Wittnauers).

One issue that I keep coming across is how to open/close screw on (ring type) case backs. 

Did Bulova make a specific tool for this? If not, what generic tool do you use?

I've included two examples of the kind of case back I'm referring to. 

Any help is greatly appreciated. Levine98

I've exhausted all other options, so I am trying to see if this group can help. I purchased a Lunar Pilot about a year ago. A month ago, the sweeping second hand started ticking instead of sweeping. I changed the battery. Same thing. Bulova support was no help. Does anyone know why this has happened?  The sweeping hand was a key reason I bought this watch. 

Hi, I am a new bee and really dont know my way around so please forgive if I mess up.

I have started collecting rectangular Bulova vintage watches. I only have one at present but there again so did everyone at first.

I am specifically looking for the 1952 president but all I can find are those on ebay that seem to have spent several years at the bottom of a pond.

I have looked at the adverts on here but cant find a section where I mught add details of watches wanted. Is there such a section please.

Is there a source of info on Bulova interchange between different movements?    I am presently looking for a hairspring or complete balance assembly for an 11AF movement.  

Hi All, 

this is my fist message and i just got this Bulova snorkel 666, to my eye it looks in a good condition, soon i will post some inside picture, now my question is is it worth to restore it? and also if you can tell me how much could be worth? no box or paper, watch only.

thanks for the help
