Ask general questions about Bulova watches. Please do not ask for model identification. Add your watch to the website for that.
Hey Guys, I need some advice.
I have a WWII ORD Dept Watch missing a Minute Hand. I found N.O.S. Hands that appear identical but are for the Hamilton 987A
assuming the U.S. ORD Dept mandated the Hand design shared by all Watch manufacturers be identical in the given spec. order (Hands outsourced perhaps??) I have a question.
I know most of you gents are more knowledgeable about men's Bulovas, but could someone take a look at this and tell me where the diamonds are?

I think a more apt title would be, "if you see diamonds, you're dreaming"... am I being too skeptical?
M5 1965 mint. 11AL movement. 10k RGP textured case. Pretty little watch for as late as 1965.
!943 or 1933? 21 Jewel 7AP. Excellent case. Curvex 10k gold filled.
Pity International didn't get the print straight.
Firstly some muppet mutalated this beauty by putting on a cruddy non fitting fake diamond dial that is rubbish. Am I right in thinking it should have a silver dial with the radium style numbers and pierced luminous hands? Secondly anyone got either or both going spare they want to sell, thirdly what model is it? It runs a 1930 10an movement. Not the best of photos as taken quickly but you get the idea.......Thanks, GP .
I've been buying so many watches lately, I'm starting to think I need counseling. Is there a group for watch addicts? Watch Addicts Anonymous?
Seriously, please share any strategies that you use to control/limit buying. Auction sites seem to have an endless supply of rare models, or ones that I don't have, or have never seen, so any such criteria alone is insufficient. Do you set limits for yourself, either by dollar or number of watches, maybe within a set time period?
Can you watchmakers please give us the lowdown on how to interpret the watchmakers marks inside our cases? I've opened them enough now that I'm very curious... Thanks!
The case looks identical to the Admiral which shows in the 1940 ads as white dial and 17 jewel movement. This one black dial with 21 jewel 7AP.
Any clues??
