There appears to be an 'H' variant that is very similar, as seen here and in this portion of a 1968 Bulova Annual Report:
Not real sure the difference between the 'F' and the 'H', they look rather identical other than perhaps the 'F' rotating ring has grooves where the 'H' is more smooth. I'm going with the 'H' variant.

In that black and white "F" add there appeared to be "grooved outer ring" , but both 1965 watch records using that add for support do not have those groves line in add.
With a nice clean picture as in the "H" add above, we can see no groves. Perhaps the grooves in "F" add are artist rendering to show some kind of shading vs groves?

Adjusted for inflation, $95.00 is $650.00 in today's money. $95 was a fair chunk of money in '68, mainly because the wages have not kept up with inflation. A trusted source tells me his BlancPain 50 Fathom dive watch which he purchased in 1968, was the same price as this Bulova Snorkel. The Bulova Snorkel series is around $500 today, while the BlancPain FF is about $9000.00.

Hi I have the same watch! Sadly, my bezel spring or click mechanism seems to be missing so i'm looking for a replacement or at least some way to fabricate it. If its not too much trouble could you show me what your bezel spring looks like?
Your watch is "Snorkel 666" like as this another one
