Restored as best I could with original dial/hands/case and numerous NOS parts my son-in-laws father’s Vietnam era bulova 11AOACB watch.

lot of time spent into getting the case, dial, bracelet and hands sorted due to significant salt water corrosion (he was in the navy).  Movement had numerous rusted parts, mostly in the motion and dial works. Fortunately a salvage movement was available as well as NOS parts from McCaw’s in the US.


It is a sentimental piece, so visual perfection wasn’t he wanted wanted—he intends to wear it as his father did over 50 years ago (like all old bulovas after being serviced, runs really strong).
