Watch Description

steel automatic watch with a Bulova marking on the crown. Purchased in Latin America in the late 70's. I've been on the hunt for a replacement crystal. Unfortunately, the two watchsmiths I've been to have told me it is not available in my region.

No luck finding a match...Unknown model for know.

I also cannot find case 8169 in my case ref books - to find a crystal number.

It does seem like this is a difficult watch to reference. Thank you for taking the time to look

I could not find an exact match, but this model looks to have the same case style, so may offer some clue to hunting down it's correct crystal.
