Anniversary present in 1950s in Clairmont Iowa

Submitted by Copperas Cove on December 15, 2010 - 12:15am

This watch belonged to my great-uncle, and I am trying to identify the model and get a replacement band for it if the old band ("Champion  Made in USA") cannot be repaired.  Three of the stainless steel backs have come off of the links, and those links no longer retract to a closed position when not being worn (see last picture, below).  Thank you for any help you can provide in identifying the watch model, identifying a similar replacement band, or identifying a watch repairer who can fix the band.  I still have the three backs that came off the band.&n

Princeton Bulova Watch? 1943?

I received this from a close family friend when she passed away. I am trying to find out more information on this watch. Does anyone know anything about it? I saw one listed on here that looks quite similar called the Princeton from 1943. I have not opened the back (have no idea how), so I do not know any of the markings on it. The back does have a serial number 4382446 on it. Any information would be great, year, name, worth. Thank you!

The BULOVA DOUGLAS "CORRIGAN," Circa 1939- 41. 17 Jewels, Model 10AX movement. This exceptional (and true) Art Deco period design, was a tribute to famed aviator Doug Corrigan... who was quite the "dare devil," and also worked as a mechanic on Charles Lindburg's Spirit of St. Louis plane, he used on his famous voyage! This fine watch was just for sale/sold, hereafter:

Hands for the Corrigan?

Submitted by plainsmen on December 13, 2010 - 9:32am

What.... no comments on the Corrigan?

I thought you guys would have dug it....

I'm still pretty stoked on it.

Positive now that the hands are wrong.... I'm pretty sure they're supposed to be like the ones on here....
