10k rolled gold plate, date code L9, unable to take photo of interior but movement says 11AF. There is a small indent in between the lugs to open the case, the bezel & crystal snaps off leaving the face/movement in the case. The movement can then be lifted off without having to 'snap' apart the crown stem. I believe it is a 1959 Bulova President, can anyone confirm this? Also, does anyone have a service manual for this model? I really appreciate your help!

Whew, I thought you were having a watchiemer's moment. And Yes, the Cape Cod polishing clothes work great, I have 2 of these the oldest is 7 years old and still does a great job in a quick fashion.
As to the crystal, I use the "NOVUS" 3 step system of polishing compounds when I can't find a NOS replacement.
