Ask general questions about Bulova watches. Please do not ask for model identification. Add your watch to the website for that.
So, I've added my first Bulova to the database - the 1940 Beacon - and now have two more being shipped to me.
The first I'm having trouble identifying. Does anyone recognize this?
The second is a 1974 Caravelle: (Edit: Removed)
Is there any reason there aren't any Caravelle watches here on the site? Should it not be added to the database?
I was just wondering if anyone has had a case replated professionally anywhere, if so what is a ballpark figure on cost and where can it be done?
In keeping with the Site Administrators strict 'Watch related' topics only.....
GO STEELERS!

For a couple years now, I have owned an older Bulova from I believe the 30's, judging by its looks. Case number is 9004004. Movement is a 21 Jewel 7AP. This is older than the typical date code letter system so I do not know how to date it exactly. Measures 1.77 inches or 45 mm long with a slightly curved 10K gold filled case.
Any help with a model name, exact date, or anything else is highly appreciated.
hello, I found these two watches while cleaning out an old jewelry box. I've tried to pin point what model they are. one looks like a 38 minute man and the other might be a 38 crocket??? I can't tell so i figured i would ask an expert (you) . I was thinking of fixing them up as they have been in the family for a while and still keep time. Any information would be greatly appreciated. by the way I don't dare open the backs because I have no idea what goes on in there. Thanks Dave
Ladies and Gentlemen,
There has been a tremendous influx on Our favorite web based auction site as of late of an unnamed Oval Cased Automatic. The Watch is advertized by several individuals as being New, Old Stock, comes in a variety of Colors, Red, Blue, Silver and possibly more.
Rotors are stamped Bulova N9.
10 - 15 of these roll through per Day and have done so for the past 30+ Days coming out of Hong Kong, China.

Ok guys, who can tell me what model this movement is from? One of my favorites. Please answer in a private message and I'll post them after, don't want anyone copying someones elses test paper.

So, I bought my first Bulova (in running condition) off of eBay, and while I'm waiting for it to arrive, I thought I would start to gather some more information.
Here's the photo:
I *believe* it's a 1940 Beacon, according to this ID page.
I'm looking for anyones experience or solutions to case brassing. Is there a remedy or does it need to be replated?? Looking forward to your feedback, thanks.....Bob
