Hi guys! New member here, thank you for the opportunity to be part of the forum.

I was attracted to a particular model being a medic myself previously for this model. I managed to get the dial and movement ( not tested yet as the battery 344 is not available here) i was wandering if anyone can point me to where i can get the case to house it? Many thanks in advance!

Hello All. I have a customer looking for a crown for his 1965 Bulova Snorkel 666 Diver who needs help finding the right part number.

Case No. is 385-1

Movement No. 11ALACD

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks Kindly

       "I feel now after a decade of vintage timepiece restoration and service on Accutron's, I can finally put to rest some of the crazy rumors and fallacies about these wonderful timepieces." I'm sure you have noticed the new swiss Bulova's with the Accutron logo. There is very little in common with a 214 and 218 Tuning Fork Movements. Bulova has opted for more a conventional and modern manual or automatic movement and their new Tuning Fork movements is a refined more modern approach to vintage Accutron's. 

Hi folks, thanks for adding me to the group. My question is;

When restoring these 1940's and '50's time pieces, when is it detrimental to the restoration, ie, should the case be left alone if it is in need of replating, or should a dial be left alone?

I have a number of quite rare pieces that I have recently serviced, including replacing a balance staff and getting the movement to work with only 0.3ms beat error.

Any help, views or advice would be most welcome.

I am in need of a caseback for a Vietnam War issue Bulova Mil-W-3818A. I have the watch but just need the correct caseback. If anyone has a spare and is willing to part with it, I'd appreciate it. 

Hello everyone, I've recently acquired a Bulova Accuquartz 226, the forgotten LCD counterpart of the 228 "Big Block" LED watch. From the little (if almost non existent) material I found on the internet, it seems to be quite rare. Mine -miraculously- works but it needs a new LCD panel, as the one on my watch fades to black after a couple of minutes I wear it on the wrist.

I'd be very grateful if anyone of you has the part I'm looking for. :)

Hi,

I have an Accutron 214, model # 203, from 1960. It has the football shape 14k inlays, but also has a cracked crystal.

It seems this this model never had an official  Bulova case number, and so the Bulova catalog does not show what crystal it uses.

I measured the crystal as 28.5 mm diameter.  I was planning to get a G&S PHD25 "high dome" to try, but I see that there is also an, "extra high dome", available.

Has anyone done this before, or know what the recommend crystal is?

Hi all, I have decided to part with a few of my vintage Accutrons and would like to list them for sale on the forum.  Unfortunately, I have not figured out how to do that.  Can anyone with experience direct me and provide the steps for doing so?  Thanks in advance for the help!
