EDIT: The last picture is the restored watch with dial by International. All they did was apply the lume and it looks great!
I know we have dropdown choices for Case Manufacturer:
but I don't remember if we were using "Bulova" if its stamped Bulova, even when another company made the case? Seems like we would not, and the case manufacturer info is simply entered in the root record comments section like the good Rev has done.
The hands have been re-lumed at some point, and the dial's white paint does not appear as white as it does in the photo, for some reason. Under magnification it appears to be high quality, like you would expect, so I don't think it's a re-dial. Fit in the case and on the movt seem original. When I get around to doing the CTR, I'll post some more in depth pics, but won't be for a while.
Been looking at the other Snorkels, and I must say the lack of lume on here is odd, it is as if they didn't finish the dial, just did the outline stamp. I'm not sure I'm adroit enough to paint in the numbers with lume, maybe it'll be off to International.
A question though, for all the Snorkel owners out there:
Can anyone confirm that there is supposed to be a wire 8 sided spring inside the rotating bezel, and a spring loaded ball bearing? I'm seeing allowance for both, but they are missing on mine. I also might just convert this one to a screw down crown, it would make for a nice tight case, and whenever I do this, my service mark includes the word "mod" inside the case back.
