Howdy, Yall! I acrually have the same watch. It is an ocean clipper, I had mine restored a number of years ago. It was my Grandfathers (bought after serving in Korea) then passed to my father who wore it through Vietnam. Then given to me in pieces when I started college in 2007. Proud to say, I wore it the day I graduated. All that being said, I took to this site years ago for inisght and discovered it to be a 1957 Bulova Ocean Clipper. 11acac movement and 17 jewel. The part I am having trouble with is locating what the orginal band was, looked like and where to find one. A few of the ads give me an idea, but it's been hard to find an actual example. I do belive the Sea clipper and ocean clipper are relatively the same with minor differences. I have noticed that almost the Ocean clippers I have seen have extreme patina on the dial and weird oxidization.
