Dial numbers look slightly different but I'm good with Bulova Sea King.

Looks good, runs fine, super clean with a bit of oxidization on the hands. Winding mechanism is quite tight, so it's back in the box with this one until I can get it serviced.

Looks in good condition; be careful with the hands as they are filled with radium. Even after having mine serviced, the winding is still a bit tight.

Confirming Model and Variant based on the 1957 Linebook BAWD0132

1953 Sea King "B".    Note that the Linebook shows the Sea King "A" as having a black dial. Also not the sales books show two listings for Sea King B.   One for $57.50 and one for $59.50.  I wonder if the extra $2 is for an expansion bracelet.
