Dear Bulova friends
I have this watch and need a new watch crystal. I don't know the model
because it hasn't any numbers on the case. maybe somebody recognize it.
I think its from about 1949/50
Kind regards
airborne
In reply to If the measurements you gave by JP
Just t clarify the CMC325 is CUSHION shape not Rectangular.
The case shown is not a Bulova. It is a Sutton, duro or 1d or similar. I agree fully with old ticker that this is a frankenbully. Have seem a number of these on ebay recently. it is not a UU although made to mimick it.
It is likely a CMX326-35 you need 21.6 x 17.6....maybe

i'd certainly say your is :) all CMC are cushion.
If this was a UU you are correct about the original crystal I think. Had quite a few of them. But this is not a Bulova case, that i'm almost certain of but only yhe original thread poster can clarify. sutton, 1d or duro I bet
Two of my GS catalogues have the cmc325 as fitting Waltham and Elgin only.
In reply to The back off the case is by airborne
No doubt that it is a aftermarket case if it has a stainless back, as Gary said, all His Excellencys had Gold Filled bezels & backs.
From all of the the Duro, ID, Sutton & other aftremarket look alike cases that I have or have come across, most of the glass is flat with no curvature to the bezel/crystal groove, and usually I end up making one to fit because very few are listed in the crystal catalogs.
