Watch Description

This is a first for the DB in this dial color and date.   Based on the 1961 Linebook BAWD0147 page 47 this is a 1961 Bulova Sea King "F".   The watch has a mono case top loader with asymmetrical lugs.  The upper lugs are different than the lower ones.  The case back has an M1 date code.   The dial is black with silver applied hour markers at 3,6,9 &12 with wedge markers at the rest.  The movement is an 11AFC also with an M1 date code but forgot to take the picture before putting it back together.  I had this watch in my To Do  pile for at least a year and just realized I had recently picked up a donor 11afc with a good third wheel. Turns out I need the second pinion also.  Running great and looking good.
