·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!
