Hey, I am brand new to this forum and to Bulovas. I have been a hobbyist restorer of mainly Omegas, Longines and Zodiacs for a few years now and have just moved on to Bulovas. I recently purchased a terribly neglected Lone Eagle (or conqueror, you guys can decide once it's finished and posted.) As i disassembled and cleaned it i noticed a prominent FHF carved on the main plate. Does anyone know the base FHF caliber for this movement? Thanks!

Hi, I have a 1951 Academy Award - identified using vintage ads - that has a stuck winding stem. The stem is rusty so I want to replace it. The crown has also corroded to the point where it can be screwed on but it's too weak to use it to wind the watch. I have the movement out of the case. It's a 10BM. How do I remove the stem?

I cleaned the dial using warm water, detergent, and vinegar. Did remove some of the small indices.

OK, fess up. 

Someone just sniped this on e-bay. 

I just want to know that they are going to post more pics and boast a little ;.)

This makes my mouth water just looking at it !!

Hello, My name is Adam and this is my first post here.  I recently ran into a couple of pictures of bulova snorkels from the late 60's and early seventies and I think they are quite interesting.  Unfortunately, I've also noticed that many of the bezels are cracked or broken as this seems to be the weak point in the design.

Does anyone have access to a parts diagram for the 333 that you can share please.

I have an Alden watch, date, pictures, jewel count etc all confirm it as such. However in one advert it states it has a Stainless back. Mine doesn't, it has a RGP back. Did it come this way too or could it be a different model? Any Ideas.....

Just a friendly reminder here for those of us who are concerned with our movements damaging themselves through lack of service. 

My apologies to those who already know this little tidbit, this is in regards to oiling a watch. Apart from my usual rant about never oiling a dirty watch, and if it hasn't been cleaned, it is dirty, this is to do with what not to oil.

hi guys, hope someone can help, i need a body for a 10btc dont matter about any parts or not as long as all jewels are present, thanks, steve
