Bulova model 23 --case plating question
Hi, I've purchased numerous 1950s era Bulova watches of late for repair/restoration and resale (a money losing hobby but very satisfying).
Hi, I've purchased numerous 1950s era Bulova watches of late for repair/restoration and resale (a money losing hobby but very satisfying).
I was just watching the movie Love Actually. One of my favorites, and found this image from one of the great scenes of the movie. In the pivotal scene where she received the wrong Christmas present from her husband and comes to the realization he is cheating on her. She goes to the bedroom and cries. And then wipes her face. Clearly seems to be a 1930s Bulova American clipper.
I am working on a 2009 Bulova Chronometer. It's Case# is C852441. It needs a new crown (8mm in diameter). I cannot seem to locate one - according to Bulova, they don't make them anymore.
Does anyone have any ideas about where I might find one - or at least a waterproof crown of similar size?
Thanks!

I've got a nice 17AE 21 jewel movement that needs a new case. Preferably gold tone. 17AE I believe is a 12s.
Or is someone has a press fit bezel and crystal for a 12s case :) gold tone, that'll work too.
Would consider buying non-working watch if someone has a 17AE with a nice case, can always use parts.
email me [email protected] or respond here.
I haven't seen many packet watch posts.... is any body out there interested in Bulova pocket watches?
Hello folks - brand new here. I'm looking for information on what plating materials were used on Bulova A-11s from around 1942. Mine does not look like chrome. Maybe nickel?
Thanks,
Just got this watch, and for the life of me, I can't crack the case. Tried multiple wrenches, but it won' budge. There does seem to be some gasket but it's not even. oping it's not x thread, but does look it.
Anyone familiar with this case.... Case Serial # is 1-274019.
thanks in advance

My Bulova Aqua Queen, 1965 vintage with movement 7BPC has cleaned up well cosmetically. New crystal, and case looking good. I put it on Watch-O-Scope and it is running about 8 sec/day fast, amplitude 334 degrees and beat error 7.8ms. I think this looks pretty good. Is there anything I can/should do for this? Is cleaning and lube asking for trouble?
Best,

Did Bulova ever use Master watch case co cases.
I am new to this site am I allowed to post images of a watch if it is not 100% Bulova, ie a Master case?

I am new to this forum, therefore, I hope I am using and searching the website correctly. I inherited a 1926 ladies, 14K white gold filled, watch with sapphire in crown, for which I cannot discern any information. There is no patent number. I am hoping that maybe someone more knowledge can enlighten me. Here's what I do know:
Manufacture year = 1926
Movement model = 6W
Movement code = Triangle
Movement jewels = 15
Movement serial # = 73032
Case serial # =517997
Case shape Rectangle with cut corners
I have a 10 BNCH that has a bad retainer on the lower balance jewel that needs replacing.
If someone has one, a donor movement for sale, or a part number cross-reference I would welcome a reply.
