Watch Description

Case - stainless, width = 32.8, lug to lug 39.9, W. Germany, two piece pack, inside ink stamped 542 and 2962 - Movement is dated N2 = This watch looks like a Clipper of the Y variant as listed here on MyBulova (H509617) but in stainless. Date codes don't match in this watch so maybe a rerplacement movement? I will post better photos after I reassemble this watch. Any idea on the replacement crystal for this case?

it can be a Clipper, but I did not find the corresponding variant, the variant "AG" that has the same design and SS case, just has a black dial

Agree this is a Clipper. I don't find a variant for the stainless case.

Glad you found a source to help you set the date.  I am ok with Clipper noting the possible movement replacement.

This watch had a broken date indicator driving wheel. I sourced one from a donor and got the watch up and running. I adjusted the movement, polished the case and installed a new crystal. This watch is now running really well.
