A nice '69 Sea King FE. 10K RGP case, stainless back. No scratches on the case, or crystal. Hands and dial are still luminescent Both are in nice shape. I believe this has the original/correct band. Keeps perfect time. Does it have the correct box/case? I think it was a good buy.
In reply to yes you have one identical by jabs
Good advert find.
Agree with the Bulova Sea King "FE". Great to see the original band on this one too.
Hmm, looks like you're building quite a Bulova collection Blackbird. This is a fine looking example of a Sea King FE, it's in excellent condition for it's age. I'm not sure on the clam shell display case, seems like this version is more early sixties, I know that by 1970 Bulova was using these two versions. It is possible that you have the original case though.
Agree with Bulova Sea King "FE", with original band; though the display case it is in was used through the late 50s, so I would say not original
I wasn't sure about the display case, I figured it might be too early for the Sea King. Would it be correct for one of my Model 23s?
I sold the first Sea King I had after I picked this one up. As much as I don't like the original band on this, I think I might leave it on. Its too nice of a watch to mess with it.

We typically see the Bulova 23's in a different case; a couple of examples can be found here. Although I also recall having seen a 23 case similar to the one your Sea King is in, but the inside lid had '23' displayed, instead of 'Waterproof'.
