Caravelle with 11 DP movement

[rogart63]

Have a Carravelle diver that need a new balance and pallet fork. Not sure what to look for. Have found out it's a bulova 11DP  or citizen 0241 movement. But where can i find spare parts for this? have tried cousinsuk and Ebay. Have found some donor watches but would be better i think to buy some new parts then hoping to find a good donor. Pallet fork i found out it could be the same as citizen 1802. That i found one in my drawers. But balance?

Caravelle was owned by Bulova and their watches were cheaper... Not sure if this helps. Wish I could do more.

I am thinking about finding an Citizen donor watch. Should be pretty easy. Have looked into it and lots of manual winding Citizen like 1800,1802,0241 would work. Like this https://www.tradera.com/item/190202/312554214/citizen-1960-tal-fint-vintageur-

How do you know that it would work ? Did you do some cross-checking of the parts ?

Checked Jules borel and Caravelle 11dp . Found out the balance is in lots of movements . http://cgi.julesborel.com/cgi-bin/matcgi2?ref=[^[DXGXF

Pallet fork even more. http://cgi.julesborel.com/cgi-bin/matcgi2?ref=T__BYM

Only thing i can't find new parts. But will have to do with a donor if the balance is okay.

I was in the same situation, what I did was to find this 11dp movement listed as not working but balance swings fine. I bought it shipped for $4, the balance worked amazingly well.

I bought a citizen 1803 watch with nice movement . The caravelle is  running again with the pallet fork and balance from the 1803 ,
