Is this dial really a Bulova?

Hi
I recently bought this diver on eBay because I thought it looked nice with a patinated dial and a bakelite bezel…Didn’t look that much into it as I’m used to 60s divers with many variations and didn’t even consider this could be a problem watch :/

But now I wonder if the bakelite insert is. Or the only real Bulova part (from a snorkel J). The dial looks nice, has tritium plots that look aged and react to uv light like expected but I cannot find any similar example online.
The case has no bulova writings so I guess it’s not original either. The movement is a 1 jewel from claro watch sa (which ringed the bell actually).

any chance the dial might be original bulova and worth salvaging?
Thanks!

Fakey Mc Fake Fake.

That is an EB or Rhonda pin lever movement. I doubt a real dial would fit without major modification.

Something looks off on the B and the printing looks too thick. The lume dots sloppy. Even if real one would spend more time defending it than not.

Thanks for confirming my doubts! The insert looks legit though…I wonder How it ended up there
