Engraving on the back of your new old watch.... how hard to fill?

Submitted by plainsmen on February 6, 2011 - 1:14pm

I realize some purists probably won't dig this question but.... a "to Ralph from Mother '42"... I guess I don't know that it's enough of a character adder for me to want to keep it for my own collection pieces.

Is it expensive to fill/buff or even feasible?  What would something like that run?.... I suppose it depends on how deep and what metals?

Ok, I have a trivia question, Maybe someone will know this one and maybe someone will learn some thing.

 Q: Why do most pictures of watches or clocks or time peice advertizements have the time set to 10:12 or 12 minutes after 10 o-clock?

 someone has the answer :)  or bring your best guess.

Hi, wonder if any you guys can help me.  I have a ladies  bulova cocktail watch from 1924.  It was working perfectly until the other day when it suddenly stopped. I took it to a very well know and reputable jewellers who fell in love with it.  Anyway,  what i wanted to ask is can anyone give me anymore information re- this being the first introduction of ladies watches by the Bulova company?

Well gent's here's what I have so far for my Trauma Unit Collection.

 

 

A Blackhawk, a Nurse's, and a Surgeon....

The not to subtle theme of my new collection is Bulova "doctor's" dial" type watches.  My next hunt is for a black dial Surgeon to go with the two below.

Let's chat about the 'SENATOR' shall We, specifically the Years 1940 - 1949.

The only ad showing the Bulova 'SENATOR' I personally am familiar with shows a Tonnau shape step lugged Case with Gilt (Gold) Arabic Numerals on a White Dial and a 17J movement.

Let's hash this out Boys as now is as good a time as any.

SENATOR 'A' : Shows the Watch on a Leather strap with applied Arabic Numerals, Whie Dial, Modern style Hands.

Circa: approx 1945.
