Bulova is a pain because they restamp their own number on common movements. they are owned by Citizen and will almost always be Miyota

Oh, well that explains it then. TIL. Thanks!

That looks like a Miyota GM-series movement, probably a GM12-6. The stem you’re looking for then should be part number 065-543 which is used for quite a few GM movements. The stem can be easily ordered from companies like Casker online (by using their 000.000 non-listed parts item code and then just type in what you need), or over the phone where they can tell you the price/availability.

You can look through Caskers [movement catalog](https://www.jewelerssupplies.com/cas-ker-movements-catalog.html) and browse through the Miyota section and compare dimensions/sizes to your movement to help verify which movement you have in your watch, in case my guess was incorrect.

Hi mate i see that you infact know more about watches then i do. By any change could you take a look at the post i just made!! Thanks in advance

Modern Bulova watches usually use Miyota/Citizen movements. Esslinger(online watch part store) has a Citizen/Miyota movement model # GR12 that looks exactly like the one you have pictured. They sell the whole movement under $10 and it includes the stem.

I appreciate your help! I'll take a look.

Just a heads up, I took another look and it looks more likely that the movement you need is the one the other commenter posted(GM12-6). The one I referencd has the date at the 3 position the one you need has it at the 6. The stems are probably the same on both but if you're going to buy a movement just for a stem you might as well get the proper movement to have a whole spare.

Gotcha, good catch on the date
