Hi bulova lover !!
I think this one is a 1929 Galahad. Just like the one in db. A real big deal and she runs with an advance of two minutes per day. Just after i put some oil and clean it well, it work perfectly!(2min/day) Not for sale .... too much butyfull !!
If someone can confirm the part# or a ref# for this crystal i will be very very happy !!! it seem to be CMT343, but not sure. i found this ref here in vintage catalogue. i found a cmt343-2ft.... is it the same thing ??? a little help here will be very appreciate.
Please provide the exact height and width measurements of the crystal.

1929 Galahad.
Confirmation newspaper advert for a 1929 Bulova Galahad.
We have yet to see any other original Bulova advertising for this model.
A cylinder crystal would not be correct for this watch.
Please provide total length and longest width measurements. I sure I can provide a crystal in glass.. These early watches are not well documented in watch crystal catalogs by Name so measurements are the only way to find.

Sorry but there are no crystals for any make/model in that size range. Any chance the micrometer was not zeroed out for the measurements? There is a 23.7mm X 18.0mm from an early catalog labeled Bulova which has the proper aspect ratio but that is a close as I can get and that's a mile off in crystal lingo.
If you sent me the bezel , I could cut one for you.

23.7mm X 18.0mm is still all I have to offer in glass.
I have no "P" quality acrylic crystals such as the T1045 you show.
If you have not done so already, please measure the case opening , not the crystal. It's like trying to measure a marshmallow.
