Interchangeable spare parts catalog

Submitted by Bobleeves on July 15, 2021 - 3:37am

I'm in the middle of cleaning an old Snorkel watch (movement 11 AOACB) and I have the old technical bulletin that shows that the clutch wheel is part #17 and the winding pinion is part #18, but I have a feeling that these are shared with other movements and I can only find a "shared parts catalog" that is from 1959 and it doesn't go as far as AOACB.

Does anyone know where I can find this or what part number will work for this movement?

Many thanks!

I Believe I Discovered "Corrigan" Variant

Okay my fellow Bulovaholics...

This alledged variant discovery story is about 13 years in the making.

Many years ago, very shortly after discovering the Bulova brand I found the Bulova "Corrigan" aka the Aztec watch.  It was so awesome I immediately fell in love with the redic art deco styling.  It was unlike anything I'd ever seen.

A17 two digit serial number

Hello,

     I am interested in this A17a on eBay and the serial number is AF-59-13. I’ve. Ever seen a 2 digit serial number before. Is it just a matter of it being early in production? I just want to be sure it’s authentic. Here is the link to the eBay page. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for looking.
