Watch Description

1969 SeaKing, unsure on the variant. I'm guessing "DL". It was quite dirty and missing the crown when purchased. The crown it has is not correct, yet. New mainspring and crystal fitted.

Love the  dial font on this one. The dial and movement appear  likely to be Sea King "DL", but the case is a non-Bulova replacement and slightly different than the original. Due to this, we can't assign an ID as the watch is what we refer to as non-conforming. A mix of Bulova parts and non-Bulova parts. No matter, it's still cool and a great looking watch

Great looking watch but agreed it is non-conforming due to the replaced Bulova case.

Movement and dial might be from the Sea King "DL" or "D", but when mounted in a non Bulova case makes this watch Non-Conforming.
