Per request from @JwRosenthal -- Bulova Snorkel J from @bristnj is remaining within the OF family. This is a grail for me -- very fortunate to be the next caretaker of this awesome devil diver...

THE GODESS OF TIME some refer to as the BULOVA dancing girl ...

Portrait painted to illustrate a design to represent "time," in flight, text from 1922 September 6 printed in The Jeweler's Circular
artist: Coles Phillips
This is great stuff. Always wondered about the muse on the Bulova casebacks, which, along with the Omega Hippocampus and the Longines enamalled fish, has to be one of the most iconic of all watch-back adornments.

VINTAGE BULOVA WATERPROOF / RESISTANT DIVE CRYSTAL (plexi)
Ur vintage Bulova has a stamped number inside the case back that is usually the corresponding Bulova CRYSTAL REF# for ur watch.



Substitute suggestion:
GS - DT Diver Tite watch crystals (high dome)

U must provide the EXACT SIZE and shape of the crystal u need.

They also stock crystals with date magnifier which U should mention if this is the type u seek though these might be limited in quantity and availability.


G-S SUPPLIES, INC. is still in business and U can contact them directly and inquire about ur needs, and YES they still stock old/vintage watch crystals in their inventory ... link below
