Nice to know, I believe I thought it was a Sea King when I bought it.  Never could figure why it didn't  have much of a water resistance description.  One of my first Bulovas though, and a good runner.  I disguised the cracked crystal with the hands.  I have bought two ill-fitting crystals for it.  Was wondering if a crystal is difficult to measure correctly when it has a large crack in it?  Still amazed at how you panelists are so adept at identifying from tiny pen and ink ads

I would recommend taking it to a qualified watchmaker- they will be able to fit the crystal properly.
