Saying Hi & Asking a question

Submitted by malpasoman on June 2, 2011 - 4:46am

New to the myBulova forum. I have been a watch collector for many years but have recently centered on collecting vintage Bulova's because I think they are second to none in their case design, variation & beauty.

So my question is I have aquired this rather nice L0 dated piece now the movement is 10BM which according to the movement list is a 1952 production so has the movement been rehoused in an older case? Having searched the forum I see that I am not the only person with the same watch 1950 with a 1952 movement?

Anyway a picture of my watch 

Hope to be around for a while on this great site

 

Cheers

Steve,

The 10 BM is correct for this Watch, is the Date of the 10BM correct (?) The Dial looks refinished as I'm not familiar with the seconds track showing.

Here is an interesting read on this piece: http://www.mybulova.com/node/1291

Welcome aboard.

The Watch has a sibling, a smaller Ladies model.

I notice the drool stain near the nice looking crown that you seem to be lacking Fifth lol
