Greetings and Happy New Year. I've got a 1953 Lenox that is missing the case back. Any thoughts as to where I can source one? Thanks.
It is difficult sometime to know what watch a case back belongs to once it is disconnected from the case. Your best option might be to do an Ebay saved search for "Bulova Lenox Case" and see if a low cost one pops up. I have many case backs but generally have to resort to eyeball and fit to figure out if it fits a case. I also have numerous incomplete watches myself with saved searches. I recently just lost an auction for a dial I had been looking for a long time. Bummer.

Thanks. As you suggested, I searched eBay. I found a parts watch priced higher than I would want to pay. I took a chance with the 'Make Offer' feature offering less than half of asking price. He accepted. So, I'm closer to putting together a birth year watch for my brother.
I have another watch that I'm trying to bring back, a Wittnauer automatic model 5012, caliber 11SR (AS1707). My Dad gave it to (the same) brother for college graduation 50 years ago. I found a beautiful NOS dial that would have been perfect. I tried to bargain and, next thing you know, it was gone. Some day I'll learn. Thanks again.
