Anyone Like Jigsaw Puzzles (Bulova 8Bba)

[CKelly]

Hi,

   Just thought I would show what I recently picked up on ebay. A few parts are missing and hairspring was badly twisted but I will have it running fairly soon. I just find an automatic with sub second hand to be a bit different and I couldn't resist the price.

I like a man that likes a challenge. That will be a really nice piece when you get it up and running. Please keep us posted.

Hi all,

   Thought I would post some pictures of watch going together as Bob suggested. Here is one with drive train and barrel bridge in place. You might want to notice the arm next to the ratchet wheel. There is a wheel that goes there that I had to think about for awhile before I figured out how it went.

This photo should show Balance in place

Now for the keyless works.

Very well done Charles, and a lovely end result.

Thanks for posting the pictures, it's greatly appreciated. :-)

Excellent job Charles! Thanks for the pics! Nice result!

Great job! Amazing that none of the parts were lost!

 

Dial looks in great shape..most of the Bulovas from the 50s/60s have dials in really bad shape due to the poor case constructions.. this is a winner.
