I thought it about time we started a forum where we can post pictures of myBulova.com members meeting. A few years back I was delighted to hear that a couple of members met to share a beer and a yarn about their Bulova watch addiction, ah I mean collection. Prior to myBulova.com these members were total strangers and it's a wonderful feeling to know that this site has made some lasting friendships...no marriages yet (plenty of divorces maybe..joking) but it's only a matter of time before His Excellency meets and marrys Her Excellency.

HOW MUCH IS YOUR WATCH WORTH?

Several times a week we get inquiries as to how much someones vintage Bulova watch is worth.  Rather than explain this over and over, I thought maybe we'd have one post we could possibly make a sticky for anyone inquiring.

The worth of your vintage Bulova or Accutron watch is very subjective.  There are no hard and fast rules that this one is worth X amount.  They are worth what someone is willing to pay for that specific watch.

Bulova 23 Crown

Hi Guys,

I've just bought a 1954 Bulova 23 and it is missing the crown.

Would anyone be able to help me as to what my options are as to finding a replacement?

If I can't find an original signed one, would anyone know what are the size dimensions for a generic replacement.

Thanks,

Geoff.

Identifying Accutron Transistors

I have recently gone down the rabbit hole of replacing all the bad components in my horde of accutron coils. I have already sourced the correct capacitors and resistors, but I am having issues finding what transistors were used on the 214 2 wire coils and the various different transistors used on 218 coils. From what I've gathered the 214 3 wire coils have CK722 or AY1117 transistors originally, and that a BC858A will work as a replacement.

Oceanografo

Good morning everyone.
I have two Bulova oceanographer g from 1969 but with only one bezel 

Everyone worked and in good condition

One with the red cross in the centre and the other with the white cross
Which do you think is the most beautiful/rare 
The question is: which one is better to put the bezel on? And which one to keep as spare parts?
