Welcome to the forum, enjoy. Hopefully a member on this forum has serviced or repaired this particular Bulova to advise. -
I presume when goes past the problem spot, the seconds hand goes round the dial only once but get stuck at that point again. This can support neven's point, dial not keeping the hour wheel down in place, and is there a dial washer or its missing the washer. Needs a bit of clarification, runs fine even when seconds hand stops. A picture of the watch doesn't help to spot the fault, ones that shows suspect spots does. I assume its a mechanical movement, yet need clarification to be sure. Regs -
My suggestion would be as you are in USA to take a look at Sherline because they are in USA & still in business & you can not only buy the lathe but also a milling attachment & a manual or computer controlled indexer either separately or as a complete kit. I don’t have Sherline or have anything to do with Sherline but a lot of people doing watch & or clocks use them to do some very nice work , have a look at Jerry Kieffer on NAWCC. https://www.google.com/search?q=mb.nawcc.org+Jerry+Kieffer&rlz=1C9BKJA_enGB1138GB1138&oq=mb.nawcc.org+Jerry+Kieffer&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIHCAEQIRigAdIBCTI4NjI2ajBqN6gCE7ACAeIDBBgBIF_xBf8MHBWZkt3l&hl=en-GB&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8 Dell -

The stud screw is shared off, or it is missing. You have to remove (to press out) the stud from the stud carrier. This means to support the end of the stud carrier on the edge of something while holding the cock in a manner that the balance will be free to fall down and to press on the stud with proper tool. But I don't expect the balance to fall, as the spring is possibly wrapped above the cock. So, if this is true, try to gently "unscrew" the spring or in some other kind manner to release it, then show pictures of the damages. If it is still OK, then consider it as a miracle. -

This can be due several things. The most simple is the dial not touching the movement (there is a gap between them), which allows the minute wheel to go up enough and disengage from the cannon pinion or hour wheel itself. Too tight canon pinion is something that makes this happen easier.
