UPDATE (02-03-2012) Corrected Case Shape to Rectangle
Overall Length: 35mm
Width (sans crown): 20mm
Between Lugs: 15mm
Solid 14KYG
I've already added this to the "What Is It" forum under "Douglas? I Don't Think So"
To me, it looks similar to the Blackhawk model only rectangular.
Looks like the Bulova came off the dial when it was cleaned at some point in time. Maybe that cleaning got rid of minute and subsecond tracks which would help w/ ID. Dial looks like it fits the case nicely, and has been in this case for a while, if not from original point of sale.
I think this is the same watch, but with a different dial...

Been sitting in the unknown bin for a while and is quite comfortable there...
In reply to Different crystals OT. Your by JP
I noticed that too John, it would be interesting to know if Darren's watch has a flat bezel and the crystal specs match the example I have, mine is 10K GF and that might be the difference between the dials, both are 21J, but they probably would have different names...
I was just checkig out the crystal on mine. I popped it out and found that my bezel is ever so slightly curved from side to side and flat from top to bottom. I found that the BB MX2160 21.6x17.6 fits perfectly (GS MX326-35). I believe OT's case is the same. When I tried the flat type crystal, like OT's, it didn't quite sit flat.
There are several cylinder type crystals for the MX2160, ie flat top, domed, faceted. The different types of cylinders will give us an idea as to case shape. Give me a day or two and I'll post the models id'd for each and try to take a pic comparing the flat (X) vs the military (MX), crystal in the case hopefully showing the difference in fit.
