Watch Description

I believe this is a Storm King 'b'. Black dial, two piece case, 11afc manual wind, serial number E071858, both date codes are L9. The bracelet is a half stretch half solid link Gemex. I'd post a picture of the movement, but it's a whole process splitting the case.

You are 100% correct. Pays for me to zoom in on the linebook image. I totally missed the case lugs matching the linebook.

Agree that the watch is a 1959 Bulova Storm King "B"

It even has the original bracelet.  No doubt about it.  Storm King B.
