Man From U.N.C.L.E. Watch
I saw this game in an antiques mall this weekend. The watch caught my eye. This sure looks like a Bulova. The case is a strong match to the Golden Clipper.

The Vintage Accutron
"I feel now after a decade of vintage timepiece restoration and service on Accutron's, I can finally put to rest some of the crazy rumors and fallacies about these wonderful timepieces." I'm sure you have noticed the new swiss Bulova's with the Accutron logo. There is very little in common with a 214 and 218 Tuning Fork Movements. Bulova has opted for more a conventional and modern manual or automatic movement and their new Tuning Fork movements is a refined more modern approach to vintage Accutron's.
I'm trying to determine as much information as possible with respect to the following item.
make/model/year/value/influences in terms of design/where to repairing
I am trying to locate a reputable watch repair facility to service two older Bulova watches.
I contacted Bulova and they don't work on anything that old.
They recommended that I contact the Vetran's Watch Maker Initiative which I have done and sent them pictures and information.
They are 8+ months behind and when you're 75 8 months can be a long time.
I am in southern middle Tennessee.
Thanks for any assistance

The gold Bulova dress watch was my late father's.
Here is an example of an undocumented change in stainless steel case manufacturing after Bulova presumably discovered their watches were corroding. The model in question is the Ambassador with the solid gold bezel.
The Ambassador line of watch in the 1960s have stainless steel backs, however, most of the cases I've seen are badly pitted. The examples I've seen are dated from 1966-1968. Coincidentally, these cases are all made in W. Germany. I guess their stainless steel metallurgy wasn't quite up to the abuse of natural oils of the wrist.
I've got a Bulova Braile dealer sample from 79, and I need to source a movement for it. I believe it needs the automatic 1810.10. What other watches had that movement?
Similar to this one:

It also came with a Bulova signed expansion bracelet, which has been split for the sample case, so it would lay flat.
Hi, I've purchased numerous 1950s era Bulova watches of late for repair/restoration and resale (a money losing hobby but very satisfying).
I was just watching the movie Love Actually. One of my favorites, and found this image from one of the great scenes of the movie. In the pivotal scene where she received the wrong Christmas present from her husband and comes to the realization he is cheating on her. She goes to the bedroom and cries. And then wipes her face. Clearly seems to be a 1930s Bulova American clipper.
Hello folks - brand new here. I'm looking for information on what plating materials were used on Bulova A-11s from around 1942. Mine does not look like chrome. Maybe nickel?
Thanks,
