Hi, I'm new to the boards and Bulova recommanded I ask for information about my watch here, so here is what I can tell you about it. 

The face of the watch has Bulova and Self Winding on it?

The back has the following:

Bulova on the top of the back along with Stainless Stell back, Shock Resistant, Anti-Magnetic, water Proof, and at the bottom is the number I907227 with M6 underneath it, The band has 1/20 10k GF Top Caps USA written on it. I will also try to add pictures just incase they don't show in this post.

Hello , i found about a 1937 Minuteman ( i believe ) in working condition. I am no mechanic and dont trust myself to go inside . It winds up and opperates as it should but loses time as it operates .

I assume it needs cleaned inside or serviced .. Is this a common problem and fixable for something this dated ..

Thanks

Hello all,

I am a brand new member and have been interested in vintage Bulovas for some time now. I have an Accutron 214 from 1965 which I've had for many years now and it runs great, especially after a recent service.

I recently bought a beautiful 1952 Academy Award R watch and would like to get it serviced before wearing it on a semi-regular basis. I would like to get some recommendations on whom I could send this watch to for the needed service.

Thanks in advance,

Michael

Is this rare?

Has anyone seen a 10BA movement with a center seconds hand? Is it rare? I've never seen one before and I was thinking about purchasing it, if it is something unusual. It's a 1945 movement.
