Date not changing

[chrisdt]

Hi everyone

I have recently purchased (for too much money) a Bulova Ambassador 23 jewel automatic which on inspection was running well but like the cars oil leak that you only notice after you have paid your money and driven the car home I now notice the date does not change. I'm not in the position to get my money back so its down to me. I wondered if anyone could advise on the possible fault and what is involved. Not done this before but I presume its hands,dial off then I'm lost....

Thanks Chris

Hi Chris,

We will need to know what movement we are talking about here and of course it could be a simple matter or a big one on the date changing mechanism...

Cheers,

Bob

Chrisdt,

There are four calendar parts listed in bulova book under 11ANACD that correspond to "Calendar parts"

 they are : 571 = Date indicator guard, 574 = date ind dr whl mtd. 576 = Date indicator, 578= Date jumper spring

I am going to assume that they are exclusive to 11ANACD because of statement under parts table,

May not diagnose problem, but will tell you what parts MAY be involved. Might be just the jumper spring, (don't hold me to that, just guessing!) Hope this helps.
