i just got this watch,  was running  but guy i bought it from had unscrewed the glass, removed the bezel, in order to take a picture of the movement.  now it won't run.   also,   having difficulty putting bezel back in.   from what i understand,  you have to remember exactly the angle of the "split" on the winder and then push the bezel in?   

 

A question for the panel

How is the panel determining a manufacture date when for example the case is stamped L1 and the movement is stamped L2? From some of the comments I've read it seems to me some are using the case first and some are using the movement first. Now I'm not a panel member but for my own collection I use case first. What say you guys?

Bulova1962 Mens Accutron watch 18kt gold D46892

I have been carrying this Vintave Bulova 1962 for years. I don't remember how I got it, but have decided I want to sell it. So I took it to a local gold buyer who offered me $300 in one breath and then said $400 if I would get it running. Well I thought about it and decided, what am I doing! There must be some site on the web that knows about this kind of watch, so I first checked Ebay and low and behold... here is one for $1200! Now I am not saying mine is worth that, but I thought I would check more and found this site.

So I have up until now been mostly buying Bulovas from all over the place to repair, building skill and simultaneously educating myself on Bulova history and collections. I am now at the point where I am going to start collecting in earnest and wanted to set some initial targets. What are some opinions on your favorite three? (Please don't say a Platinum Accutron) I look forward to some good discussion!
