I've got my Dad's old early 70s Bulova Automatic, which is not running, and I'd like to get it back into shape.  Local watch maker told me he couldn't get parts...I'm not giving up.

Not too long ago, maybe six months, someone mentioned a, if I remember correctly, specialty Bulova repair shop, but I have no idea what was the name.

I found this one, https://watchrepairsusa.com/index.php

Not sure if it 's the same place. Or can you recommend someone?

Not mine but this is the watch:

Yes, I just might... .   That's a common model and I've got parts galore for them.

Unreformed, I appreciate the parts availability, but I need service, do you do both?

@jack19, try here
Tristan Weir of Weirclock on Etsy. He rebuilt 3 Bulova watches for me , a 1960,1962, and a 1970.

I don’t want to blow this thread, but if this is a Bulova repair discussion, I might need to send an IM too.
