Front : Bulova 23 Jewel Self Winding - Gray/Dark Gray dial 12/2/4/6/8/10 numerals
Rear : M3 G277879 Stainless Back, self winding, anti-shock, anti-mag, and waterproof stamps on back
Case is round, but the front surface is beveled. I though Regatta because of the dial markings, but from the DB the Regatta had a screw back. I think I see a seam on the back, but not sure. Did Bulova do a screw back with no place to grab it with a tool? I tried popping the crystal and removing the works from the front, but the stem won't split (I think I'm applying enough pull;)) and I can see the face is tucked behind the case. ... some the of 1965 clippers looked right, but no the beveled case. ID ? and help opening. It needs cleaning.

thanks, wow, a lot of variants on the Bulova 23.
Looks like the gray dial is the "Tropical" dial, close to https://mybulova.com/watches/1960-bulova-23-daw-8334?page=1 except mine has no clasp on the bracelet.
Do you know how to get at the movement ? Screw back ? Snap back? Thru crystal ?
