CMT277 (20.8x20.3)will fit, as the package was lost, i have found a CMT278-10 (20.8x20.6) in my stash of 400+ crystals. Just a little hand sanding on each botom side ( left + right ) and it fit perfectly!!!! I updated pictures as you can see it fit perfectly. No doubt even you just found the CMT277 are used for Elgin watch it will fit as the crystal was original!!!! take a look at these two following picture and at subject pictures watch!  /sites/default/files/uploaded_photos/user24327/Screenshot_20250123_213905.jpg  /sites/default/files/uploaded_photos/user24327/IMG_20250123_214424.jpg

I've never noticed the watch bands having date codes on them, but this one sure does. Anyone know if that was routine for Bulova?
