In search of case for 1973 Bulova Beau Brummel BD variant

Hi everyone, I'm trying to source a case for a 1973 Beau Brummel BD variant like this: https://mybulova.com/watches/1973-beau-brummell-bd-2786

It doesn't need to be an exact match, any yellow oval case that will take a 10CRAC movement would be great. I'm happy to pay for it or offer Bulova parts in trade, I still have a ton. Thanks in advance!

Recently acquired a 1952 Bulova "Hayward" that has issues

Hi everyone,

I recently bought a 1952 Bulova "Hayward." I was super drawn to the look of the watch, even though it has more patina to the dial that I like AND it has a big issue. Corrosion on the back. To the point where let's just say that it's "ventilated." 

My question is related to this. Do I need to find an exact replica of another "Hayward" back OR can I source out another Bulova back as long as the size of it is correct? 

Lady Berkshire movement issue

In trying to fit a donor 6BO movement into a Lady Berkshire case (which formerly contained a quartz movement) , the stem seems too short as the crown is fouling the case even when pulled out . A novice in this area so unsure how stem is removed if indeed a longer version is needed for this particular model . Any advice, pearls of wisdom etc , would be much appreciated
