General Information - [ Archived ]

In the not too distant past the boards were presented with a Watch - the Bulova 'PATRIOT'. A relatively new piece supposidly produced by Bulova with the proceeds of any Sales to benefit the Veterans of the Iraq War.

According to Bulova they have no knowledge of the Watches existance and a search has found no results other than the mentions found here at MyBulova and a short discussion at the NAWCC site.

I finally went to the U.S. Library of Congress yesterday, which is just 25 miles from my house.  For anyone not familiar with the Library, it is located in Washington, D.C. near the Capitol, and encompasses three large buildings connected by underground tunnels.  Most of the collections are open to the public.  All that is required is registration with a photo ID.  There’s much more information about the library available online at the Library’s Web site, if you’re interested.

Well, pursuant to my earlier comments on the previous Buckingham Case thread, I finally convinced my buddy to part with his last night at a local watch meeting in Rockford. (If I do say so myself, I think this was a textbook example of the art of gentle persuasion, but that's another story. Suffice to say I have been working with this guy for two years.)

Anyway, here it is:

Hello: has anyone seen a Lone Eagle (the original 1927 variant) with a 10AP movement? This is my first one. All the ones I have seen prior have had the 10AN. I see the mybulova database also has a few with a 9AT movement. It is definitely a completely different movement than the 10AN (I've included an image of the 10AN that I borrowed from the mybulova database). I checked my Marshall Handy Manual, and I see that the Bulova 10AP was based on an ebauche made by Le Phare.  And of course, it has a mainspring and a staff distinct from the 10AN.

We have long believed the Accutron "Woody" to be a single, specific watch, but recently I've acquired a couple of similar models that I thought worth sharing. 

All three watches are from 1973.  The first two have a matching bracelet with wood inlay, although the two straps are not exactly the same.  I suspect the Accuquartz had a similar bracelet at one time.

I'm wondering now how many "Woodies" there were.

...1957 minute man model? 

type of material of no concern. 

Pardon if this comes across as a noob question.

Any questions please ask.

Thanks in advance!

Had never seen an Aerojet

Case:  M6, Stainless Steel, Swiss - steel, signed crown, screw back, D=34.5mm

 Wish I owned this one...

Came across a nice 1958 "His Excellency" and thought you all would like to see. There is one listed in the general collection of this website, but this one is a little nicer, and the admin person should feel free to replace the one in the archives with this one if he/she desires.

Well, I finally found a model I have been searching for at a great price.

It was listed as "Bulova 8AE movement w/dial and hands and case".  Not much to go on...

Well the picture was only a little better...

Aaaaaaaa...please don't let anyone else see this!!!!

Well it arrived today.
