Hi peatnick, nice watch. I don't think this one is a Sea King CD for two reasons. The CD's we have in the dB have a different style "12" on the dial and their dials are numbered 2-4-6-10-12. Also the lugs on your watch appear to have a slight taper. I'm still looking. I'm pretty sure we'll find something.

OK - how about a 1971 Bulova Clipper B - I think this is a match

Looks like it but doesn't the bw reference photo say safe king on the dial?

Agree with Clipper "B"

There was a short time where Sea King appeared on the dial, but the model name was different.

Yes dial details vary sometimes like that.

Ok Clipper B with Sea King on the dial, tapered lugs are comfortable. It's been running good for 24 hours so I'll put a strap on tomorrow and see how it does on the wrist. Thanks again all!
