Yeah鈥ude鈥檚 a parts maniac. I thought my little stash was groovy- I ain鈥檛 got nothing on camu.

I have found crystals and crowns using factory parts numbers, but the bezels are indeed the most illusive.

The vintage Rolex people know nothing about parts scarcity. Try collecting watches from a company that has for all intents and purposes been dead for 40 years.

Not into rolex so i wouldn`t know, and Bulova looks very much alive to me but if i ever need a deep sea bezel i know where to look for one.

Bulova is currently owned by Citizen and I鈥檓 a big fan of the reissues they are doing. But sadly they have no link to the original Bulova and there hasn鈥檛 been support or parts for vintage Bulova for decades. Thus the hoarding.
