Thank you for posting your watch.  Your watch appears very close to the 1967 Bulova Clipper "A" based on the 1967 Linebook BAWD0168.    That being said the dial appears to be a match but the case looks different.  It acutally looks like a Jet Clipper case.

This looks exactly like mine. I think my photography skills and the lighting of the crystal might have changed how it looks.

Might just be the photo Jim, but the case doesn't look too bad to me.

Correct me if I am wrong but the Clipper A has no bezel ring while the subject watch does or is it just the curl of the end of the crystal?  Maybe a better pic?.

I think (could be wrong) it's the curve of the crystal (at the edge) that is giving that effect. A side view would certainly help.

I can add a better picture. The crystal makes it appear as though there is a bezel ring, but there isn't one.

Clipper "A" is a good match
