We've longed believed that many models had different names depending on the country of sale. The Canadian models inparticular come to mind. Here's a few American Vs Canadian models.
Pease feel free to add as you find them. List the American and Canadian equivalents.
Hi all,
I'm trying to acquire a setting lever for a 10BT movement, but page 5 of the interchangeable parts catalogue won't load - does anyone have a copy of this page?
Thanks

Some of you know that members of the 1928 New York Yankees World Series Championship team were presented Hamilton Piping Rock watches by the then Commissioner of Major League Baseball, Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis.
But did you know the the 1935 Detroit Tiger World Series Championship team members got LONE EAGLES!
Wasn't sure what was going to show up when I bought this item but I felt I could chance it for $10USD.
Imagine my surprise!!
Just came across these 2 ads that except for the Jewelers names at the bottom they are exactly the same.
The ad states The "Lone Eagle" watch Lindbergh used is only $50.
If these ads were written by Bulova for jewelers to use to sell the Lone Eagle it would help to confirm that Lindbergh was given the pre Lone Eagle "Conqueror" before flight.

Can anyone please provide the correct (O ring) Gasket number for Bulova Case #7472.

There are some very well known wearers of Bulova wristwatches already chronicled here at MyBulova, here is one more.
Major Richard I. Bong.
Maj. Bong was a highly decorated Pilot accredited with the most enemy kills during WWII. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Bong
The 'Ace of Aces' Watch of choice?
Bulova Type A-11
can anyone tell me any information about the above watch?? I have an opportunity to purchase one but have no idea of their worth or how rare they might be or when they were manufactured. This one is at auction, is gold filled, automatic and looks in good shape. Will be able to see it in person in a week or so. Just looking for some preliminary info.Thanks!!!
Holy moly is that a mouthful!! Hah... anyway I found this recently and got it scanned in gents. It's under Catalogs, but easily the most comprehensive Bulova hands reference I think we've seen. Theres 16 pages of hands goodness.
To all of you who asked for a copy of the manual, it is now available under the information tab and sub tab of Catalogs Etc. for you to download. I am sorry to have to do it this way but so many of you had asked for it that with all of the time I spent on scanning it and all of the work from all of you who have sent me watches for repair or ordered lumed hands, it was necessary.
Thanks to every one for their support on this project and I hope you all enjoy the lessons you will be studying to become better at repairing Bulovas even if you have never cracked a case open before.
