They are correct, Sapphire crystals don't come in this shape. You should be able to get an acrylic crystal for this watch.
Bulova official repair centres won't repair the vintage ones as I say, unless they have a dealer who is also an independent watchmaker specializing in this. If you can get the watch serviced for around €200 that would be what I would expect, but not all markets are the same, it's possible Italy's prices are generally higher.
If you can find an independent watchmaker in Italy that will not send the watch away, that is the ideal situation.
