The 11AN/11AO family is probably my most worked on movement (working on one right now). I've had the auto bridge spring into the ether myself. Bulova tells how to wind down the mainspring in their tech sheet but I've never had success following their instructions. There are definitely some quirks with the movement: oiling the upper sweep second wheel pivot and the dial side pivot of one of the auto works wheels which is inconveniently placed between the spokes of the escape wheel. the Date Corrector Setting Wheel has to be placed in the exactly correct orientation or the quickset date change will not work. the setting wheel that interacts with the sliding clutch goes chamfer up. I've made my own 'tech sheet' for it and shared it in case it's of use to anyone. Bulova 11AOACB.pdf

It's very ..... purple 🤣 It looks like a nice movement. It will be interesting to see how well it runs. I'm still on the look-out for my first Bulova
