Bulova cal.11AO #54

[JerSievers]

I'm having trouble sourcing a Bulova cal.11AO #54, anyone have a line on one?

[Nucejoe]

Does #54 have a name?

I think part number 54 is the balance complete. Looks like the same one is used in a lot of movements.

Julesborel.com has them for $42 ,  so might other material houses.

Dr ranffts lists the entire family bulova 11AO is the  member of, nearly all interchange with  caliber 11AO. 

Balancestaffs.com list all calibers in a group staffs of which fit 11AO just to double check your getting the right one.

Good luck pal.

You should be able to pick up an 11AN* or 11AO* movement on ebay for $15-$35 which will get you the balance complete.

One of the things you have to be careful about the Julesborel.com Website is that just because a parts list it doesn't mean it's still available. Or in this particular case you should build a click on the balance complete and get a part number or cross reference and we get nothing? But it does look like based on the tech sheet attached that all of the 11ao Do appear to have the same base caliber and  all the balance completes should be the same..

What's interesting is if I looked up the 11an it does the exact same thing for the balance complete as the 11ao so I'm guessing they're probably all the same.
