Vintage Watch Repair, The Do's and Don'ts
The Do's and Don'ts of Vintage Watch Repair by John V. - Time & Again
After hearing many horror stories about Vintage Watch repairs here is a quick guide and what to look out for.
Do not send your watch to a United States P.O Box. Contact the Watchmaker or Company and ask for a physical address and Google that address. A watch sent to a USPS P.O. Box is a red flag. It may be legit but it could very well be a setup where you may never see your watch again. If the watchmaker cannot supply a physical address then run away!
Balance shock spring needed for a 11ANAC
I broke off one arm on the balance shock spring on my 11ANAC Bulova. Does anyone have a spare to part with? Thanks again.

Bulova Sea King "V" – Crown
Hi,
I would love to ask where can I find a replacement (ideally NOS) crown for my Bulova Sea King "V" from 1963. The current one is quite wobbly and the stem has been replaced.
The crown seems to be quite generic for modes of those years, but since I know nothing about the parts specifics I better ask the experts here before doing anything. Is there a part name/code I should look for, and where can I find it?
Thanks!
Can't find this watch in the list of models. Who can help me?
From the mark on the back I can clearly make up that it must be a 1953 model, but in the model list on this forum I can't find any watch that even comes close to this one. Is the model list complete? Is this potentially a fake?
WTB crown #825W
Hi all,
I'm a new member, so I take chance to say hello to all of you!
I'm looking for a crown, 6.5mm diameter and 2.5mm tube... the reference should be 825W.
The Bulova is a Chronograph "D", 909 case, with 14EBD movement (7734).
Someone have a spare?
Thanks,
Luca
