BULOVA Automatic Stainless Steel 11AOACB 17j Swiss Case Dimensions: Width w/o Crown: 34.45 mm - Length: 41.55 mm - Depth: 8.35 mm - Lug Width: 17.40 mm - Crown: 4.65 mm, Signed "B", but suspect is actually for a Benrus - Crystal in watch: 26.20W x 23.20L mm Acrylic "TV" shape - Case Back Inscriptions: BULOVA; N7; Stainless Steel; T334532; Water Resistant - Inside Case Back: T-3590; Taiwan; several watchmaker marks - Movement: 11AOACB - Movement Diameter: 25.95 mm = Dial Diameter: 27.00 mm Engraving on Rotor:Unadjusted; Swiss; N6; Bulova Watch Co; 11AOACB; 17 Seventeen Jewels Somewhat different watch from what I generally seek, but hadn't seen one like it and liked the funky architecture. Dial is peeling, crystal is cracked, and definitely could use a CLA. Would very much like to restore this. If anyone can steer me to a replacement dial, and either a new crystal, or the correct crystal code, I would appreciate it. Did find an identical one on another forum, under "most collectible Bulovas". Not sure that I subscribe to that notion, but I would like to know what model it might be.
Just had the bright idea to look at 1976, since the movement is N6. There it is, a "11654-W". I'm sure Geoff is chuckling

It's always OK to ask but alas, I sold it a year and month ago, sorry.

Geoff, It would appear that this case was a Bucaneer "B"? Good to be able to give a name to the number?

Well, not really. We do not assign the model numbers as you know. While Bulova advertised it as Buccaneer Collection, we find no evidence in the material we have that the NAME was Buccaneer. Sorry....
Well found.
