Bulova is moving to Torrance, CA. Right where citizen UsA headquarters is. 

So they are joining the parent company.

FYI, we have a section on this forum where it's considered polite for new members to introduce themselves.

The reason I called Bulova in the first place was because I needed a warranty repair on the one and only new watch I've ever owned. It was a silly and obvious repair (four case screws came loose), but being the sort of person that takes up this sort of hobby, it's rare I own things with warranties, and I wanted to preserve it. 

Part of Bulova's moving means that inventory is moving, and they're not set up yet. As a result, any Bulova specific anything is delayed out many months right now. A bit crazy. My watch was from back when Bulova got a new CEO ca. 2014 and he tried to move the brand back up market with some higher end pieces with ETA movements. I got it NOS 6 years after it was produced, and combined with Citizen not stocking ETA stuff and all the rest, I didn't have to wait the multiple months. 

Unfortunately, it seems they don't actually service watches any more. They replace movements (which they don't stock, and can't get in my case), or they replace the watch. Apparently, they won't even regulate a movement anymore! Since my watch didn't have a Citizen group movement to begin with AND is 6 years out of production, my warranty turned out to be worthless unless I wanted to trade my watch in for one of equal or lesser value (which, in Bulova's current lineup, is all but two watches). Kind of a bummer. I looked long and hard to find that specific model. But I guess it frees me up to do all the warranty voiding things I would do otherwise, so... Cool.

A unfortunate problem of when a watch company gets absorbed by another company what happens to it. Initially like in this case they let Bulova run Independents but at some point in time it basically is only a name.

      Yup watchie you are entirely on my wavelength with this , you actually said what i was hinting at, what if something happens to mark ? Will someone be able to take over ? Its not that long ago that the forum was down and Mark had to step in and fix it. And you are right a wealth of information that does not exist as a whole anywhere on the planet will be lost. Can that be archived elsewhere?

      Hopefully if the issue is running costs, Mark would let us know and suggest ways of raising finance. If it's the other issue, which we are skirting around, sites can be passed onto others.   PS because I know you're all interested, I  had a bacon and mushroom sandwich for breakfast.  Hehe.

      Hi guys, the question is what is a forum, a place for discussion and passing on information, idle chat and a bit of fun and I for one are the richer for it. When in Hospital last year with the Covid being force fed oxygen and feeling total sh1t and close to the pearly gates a daily look on the forum to see what was going down helped to keep me focused on the job in hand took my mind off the problem for a short while but it was a lifeline for sure. We chat to friends for that is what they become around the world read their posts help where we can post information where we can.  I like @Neverenoughwatches some times think of members past and wonder if they are still at the watches or given up, some drop in for advise and drop out again never to be heard of again. The forum reminds me of Yorkshire hospitality, The door is always open and the kettle on the stove. Long may it continue.   My two bobs worth.
