I recently bought a 23 jewel Bulova self winding wrist watch.  The seila number is A513743 and below that is L5. Does that indicate this was made in the 1950's? 

Just traded for two cabinets full of watch hands. GDaP and GF and GI and GM and GA as well as Blue in a variety of styles and some Radium for 10AKC and others as well as a bunch of second hands and some sweep hands.

Contact me by PM if you are interested.

Is anyone familar with a 10AN with sweep seond hand model? I recently purchased one and it has a case serial number starting with "%" and a "Trinage" Date Stamp on the movement. Flip case with no Patent date.

It runs great but is missing the Sweep Second Pinion/Gear for the sweep second hand. The part was available as 10AN, 10AE, or 10AX. If anyone has one, or knows where to find one, please let me know. Thanks! I'll post the watch after it's finished and I have a chance to research the model...although nothing like it seen in the ads.

Thanks in advance for helping and responding. Rob

Does anyone have any spare Bulova crowns, 142 yellow gold regular, and 306 white gold regular? I would be happy to purchase from you at a fair price. Thamks! Rob

I am looking for the dust covers used on the 27 thru 38 watches. I need the plastic circles and the rings. I can buy or trade for them and I need 3 or 4 of them.

PM me if you can help.

I have just received a rather large quantity of lume style hands to fit every thing from 4 ligne to 12 ligne movements. They will be re-blued and re-lumed befor I sell them unless you wish otherwise. I have green and orange lume to use. A lot of spade hands in this latest bunch and some more cath as well.

Just PM me with your requests.

Needs quality leather strap, crystal and a good cleaning (movement and case).

can anyone recommend someone in Atlanta qualified to work on a 1971 spaceview?  I need a battery, but it has been a while since this watch has been checked over, so I would like to have a "checkup done).  thanks for any suggestions

I asked about expanders the other day for my recently acquired Broker (14mm lug width) and got some great answers, mainly DON'T!  Don't worry, guys, I won't.

So this gorgeous little watch is currently on a fairly cheap looking black leather strap and needs to upgrade, so I just wondered what you experienced owners are wearing and recommending.  I quite like lizard, ostrich and croc, and I think the watch looks best on black.

I'm in the UK FWIW.  Many thanks.

PS Great and helpful site, this!
