I'm looking restore this watch, starting with the correct bracelet. Does anyone know where I could find the original bracelet. Please look at the reference photo.
Hey guys,
Not sure on the year of this watch, I have to take the back off, I'll edit the date when I have the right info... for now I just wanted to add it to the site. Other than that I really looking for more info on the model of this watch etc, so if anyone has any ideas please let me know.
Greetings timetravellers!
I am new to this forum, and here goes!
Firstly, I have to compliment sscott4 for his impeccable taste in watches;) - you see, the last picture of the beautiful 1970 Deep Sea Chronograph is infact displaying the very watch I own. I purchased it on ebay a couple of years ago. Here is a link to the sellers own blog with even more pictures: http://watch-out.blogspot.com/2008/04/vintage-bulova-chrono-diver-with-mark.html
Unfortunately I had an accident recently and got a small crack in the crystal. I want to replace it, preferably with a new old stock, as quite a few of these are available on ebay. The trouble is I do not know what specifications I ought to be looking for. I will of course have it replaced professionally by a watchmaker here in Oslo, Norway.
If anyone could point me in the right direction I would be much obliged!
Sscott4 - I hope you do not feel I am barging in on your thread! Perhaps the information I am seeking is of interest to your own restoration project? Best of luck!!
Any info on a crystal for this watch would be greatly appreciated!
Martin,
