Hello all,

Just wanted to show off two mechanical watches also made by that company that brought us the Accutron:001_smile::001_smile:

Both have been overhauled and both dials restored.

Fabulous Cuad! Both fantastic and classy timepieces. I love the photo backdrops as well. You must be a hardcore Bulova enthusiast.

Both are real beauties! Nothing wrong with those fine examples of Bulova mechanical watches. I have several and really like them.

...errm...oh, what horror?...this IS called the 'Bulova AND Accutron' forum (I haven't seen anything here that said 'Accutrons only')...:001_tongue:

Those are very good looking Bulovas for, shudder, not being Accutrons. hmy: Great to see them here, sometimes it looks like the Accutron fanatics have taken over but Bulova made other very nice watches too. My first non Timex watch was a Bulova automatic that I bought at the PX in, uh, many years ago and it still runs great though it has been through many trials and tribulations. You are building a very nice collection by choosing carefully.

That's a nice pair of watches.
My only 'mechanical' is a 23J sunburst self winding.
I may even get to keep it if I can turn a profit from my recent purchases.

Actually those are "doubles" from my collection and are currently up for sale on the bay.

The hardest part of this obsesion, er.. hobby, is that you can't keep them all.:wink:

My all time favorite Bulova series! They are actually quite affordable when compared with Accutrons, and most of the line has one or two style details that sets them apart from others of the same vintage. With the possible exception of the pieces Hamilton was putting out in this era, the Bulova 23 line had some of the most imaginative designs available then.

I hope you get to keep yours:biggrin:

Thanks Eric, the backdrop of the first set is just some vintage Bulova post cards I've collected over the years. The figure of a movement used in the second set is actually a service manual published by the War Department circa WWII. It covers the servicing of all GI watches including the Bulova 10AK.

Judging by your posts, it looks like you really do. I do think you and I need to discuss that oval 23 with the blue stripe on the dial.:001_smile: Maybe we can do some horse trading:cool1:
