Vintage 1973 Bulova Day-Date Devil Diver Watch w/Signed Crown FOR PARTS/REPAIR

Description: ***********FOR PARTS/REPAIR - The automatic movement does not run. While the crown/stem is intact when the crown is pulled out and pushed back in as well as when the time is set the dial moves which has caused chipping around its edges. Both the day and date wheels roll over as they should. At a minimum a complete overhaul is required.***********This seldom seen vintage 1973 Bulova has a "-T SWISS T-" signed dial that shows wear, most notably chipping around the edges as it moves when the crown is pulled out and pushed back in as well as when the time is set. The lume, which is fully intact with the exception of the minute hand, emits a quick burst glow on only the dial after being exposed to bright light. The black bezel, which shows wear and rotates smoothly bidirectionally, presents nicely with the toasted butterscotch inverted lume triangle complementing the dial and patina beautifully. The all stainless steel case shows honest wear with minor signs of oxidation. The outer edge of the case back is stamped "BULOVA STAINLESS STEEL 666 FEET" with "448844" and "N3" stamped in the center. The inside of the case back is stamped "R/" followed by "7515" and "SWISS." The crystal needs to be replaced.The 23 jewels unadjusted Swiss "BULOVA WATCH Co" and "11 AOACB" stamped automatic movement does not run. The quickset date function, which should work by pulling the crown out and pushing it back in, does not. And when the signed crown is flush with the case (first position) it turns the hands rather than allowing the movement to be wound. At a minimum a complete overhaul is required. This watch measures approximately 37 mm excluding the crown, approximately 40.5 mm including the crown and approximately 19 mm between the lugs. Case thickness, measured from the bottom of the case back to the top of the bezel, is approximately 9 mm. Including the crystal thickness measures approximately 10.5 mm. At a minimum a complete overhaul is required. As such there are no warranties, express or implied, attached with the sale of this watch.
