Hello Group! I just acquired a 1974 Bulova 11534W and I'm having trouble finding a NOS crystal.
Hello Hiw do I find out if the crystal was replaced before? Other similar watches I have seen have very clear glass. Mine has a blue tint to it. Hiw difficult and expensive would it be to buy and replace the crystal with a quality replacement? Also is it a pissibilty to use diamond paste 3. then 2.5 to Polish out scratches on the crysta and wgat about scratched on the Gold fill stainless steal?

PM sent to you regarding polishing. Crystal is a replacement if it's blue and tints the dial. Besides that it's a tough call. Crystal replacement is like replacing tires on your car. As long as they are the same size and correct to manufacturer specs, it's correct for the car. Personally, if it can be polished, I would leave it be.
