I am trying to find out a replacement push button for this vintage digital bulova watch. Can someone help in identifying which type to look for and best place to buy it 

Thanks in advance, some pictures are attached including closeup of the slot

Well, those photos do not tell much.

You may want to find a good quality photo showing an identical watch. (see below)

This is a start. Then take a closer look at what you've got: a Screw In type or C-clip & Spring type of pusher in your watch.

Then search for replacement pushers:

Thanks @poljot , I think it is a c clip type push button. I am going to take measurements and see if I can find one which matches it

No problem. I hope you will find a suitable replacement.

Never get rid of old, broken useless, cheap, etc, etc watches as some of them may become a source of C-clips for your current and future projects :-).

Those C-Clips are tiny and somewhat tricky to install. All you need is to apply some silicone grease on C-Clip, stick it to the watch case internal wall just above the hole, insert the pusher and hold it in place with your finger while sliding down the C-clip using a flat screwdriver. This way the C-clip stays in place, doesn't jump or fly across the room ? and you do not wast your precious time on searching it for hours. If you do not have any donor watches with C-lips, i would order more than one C-clip (just in case ? ).

Please find some examples below when i simply removed all Pushers for cleaning as they were hardly moving at all.

    • Hi friends! My mother got a bunch of old watches from a horologist who was retiring, and he subsequently passed away. It's been in her studio for years, and she showed it to me today and I just fell in love with it. Sadly, I don't know a darn thing about it yet. It's quite old, or at least seems to be. It has two winding arbors, but the key is missing. The crystal appears to be some kind of yellowed plastic, which is odd- I think it was replaced at some point to possibly protect it or something. If I had to guess, it's from the mid-19th century, given that it has no keyless works and that it says "Anchor Escapement" in French. It looks to be about 18 ligne, and the case fob is positioned in the upper right corner. The face is missing the dial, the hands, and a couple of the wheels that drive the hands- I think. But the movement itself seems to be in excellent shape. The serial number on the movement matches the number on the case- it's stamped on the movement and on the case in two places. I haven't started any disassembly yet, but I'm wondering if anyone can give me some idea of what kind of movement it is, and where I might look to see what parts are missing from the face. i may even have a dial that would fit it. It's in good enough shape that I think I could get it running, assuming I could find the missing parts. Any insights are vastly appreciated and thank you!
    • I’ve watched every video I can find on YouTube. Some of the info is contradictory and none mention  the effect on amplitude or spring coil spacing which I observed. I was hoping someone here is a Seiko expert and knows these inside out.   
    • This video explains how to set up and adjust the etachron regulator :   I hope that helps, Mark
    • This eBay listing seems to verify that the watch disassembles as I suggested : here. The display caseback is held by the section that pushes out of the outermost rear bezel.  The movement seems to be a Ronda 1113. Best Regards, Mark
    • Decided to update with the repaired watch back in rotation and the new anniversary gift.
