Watch Description

I believe this is a 1959 Storm King A variant with an original band.  I'm basing that on an existing 1959 storm king B that is on the site and the accompanying line-book image(pictured above).  Any confirmation on the ID and band originality would be appreciated.   It's winds easily and runs well. I haven't cleaned it yet, but it's in really nice shape and should shine up nicely.  I love these thin, light watches and was actually planning to put a thin-line flex band on it when I bought it.  After seeing that the band might be orginal I have changed course on that. 

Thanks for any info!

1959 Bulova Storm King "A" is a good match.  The bracelet does look to be original.

Assuming your bracelet also has the expansion ends?

It all looks original to me.

It does have the expansion section in the middle.  My photo just didn't catch it.
