Nice watch and it does indeed appear to be a Date King. Can you verify subject watch has a M4 on case back and movement signifying 1964?
Interesting that subject watch has the mysterious Deco "12" on a "X" shadow face, unlike the "GG" ads dated 65 and 66 that show a double stick marker at the 12 position on a "X" face.
I couldn't locate a 1964 ad showing the "GG" variant to verify a face marker change between 1964 and 1965; but the shadow dial is pretty specific & unique for a Date King.
I'm inclined to go with Geoff on this one and go Date King tentative "GG" based on case shape, dial design and movement unless there is some other evidence it is something else.
