Just Arrived: Bulova 30J Micro Rotor Auto

Submitted by oliverb on June 18, 2012 - 8:54pm

This just arrived today -  30J Micro Rotor with movement date of "M8" but a case date of "N2". Quite a difference in dates - is this possible? Have looked through the ads but haven't found a case of this style. Definitely looks like '70s case style. The watch is in excellent condition. No brassing, mint dial and hands and only very minor wear on polished case surfaces. This evening I polished out the scuff marks on the crystal and it now looks great. The watch runs fine and time keeping is right-on over the past several hours.

Can anyone help me indentify this watch?

It is a woman's watch with a round face, slightly larger then a quarter. on the inside of the back cover it says warranted 20 years and then the number 1076990. On the inner mechanism it has marking in many places, it states 15 jewels, Bulova W Co, the number 36470, what looks like an A II, it has what looks like a little lever with 2 setting, possibly AF and RS.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Telemetre Watch

Submitted by bobbee on June 13, 2012 - 3:53pm

Got this a few months ago and forgot about it. No date anywhere. Movement is an ETA 2824-2, with 25 jewels. Case measures 36mm. W/O crown, 45mm. lug to lug, 18mm. lug gape. Hands and numbers are gilt. From top to bottom on the dial are the words "Telemetre, BULOVA, Automatic, Swiss Made". Case shows areas of bad corrosive gilt loss on the back, but only slight rubbing on the lugs. Since cleaning crud off of the hairspring it keeps excellent time.
