In reply to The dial is linen. When I by Reverend Rob
Reverend Bob,
I have one of these, an M7, but otherwise identical. Couple of things. I would suggest that the dial, being so luminous, is better characterized as raw silk rather than linen. One of the most beautiful dials I have ever seen on a Bulova. Second question, does your watch have any signature on the crown? I ask because mine looks just like yours, but it has a "C" on it. I am thinking a replacement when the watchmaker (there is scribing) was in it? Since you were likely the first to open yours I would consider it an ironclad prototype for what crown should be on it. I have everything out of the case now for clean-up, but am not going to replace the crown until I get the gospel from you. Thanx
