Watch Description

Hello i found this near mint,  1971 Bulova ladies yesterday at a flea market..i don't think this watch was ever really worn...I bought it for a very nice price, $8 ,which if it wasn't a sea king i probably wouldn't have bought it.... The watch is running and running strong, three winds and it started right up.,today i moved it around it started ticking...after a good polish,crystal, and a service on the movement,it will put this little sea king(or should it be queen???) top shelf....the movt. is 6CLC 17 jewels...i am not sure about the band being original,since the band is made in Hong Kong.the crown is signed on this watch too..Where they making bands for these watches,in Asia???? maybe by the 70s they were...I didn't have time to check the ads,but if i find out before someone else does..i'll let you know.the back has no dents,just some glue from a price sticker..the watch will be for sale after i service it,if anyone wants one for their wife, or wants to a gents and ladies pair.....Anyway here are the pics...

Five votes for unknown.  Plains, JP, Will, Admin and Fifth.  (I think Fifth is saying unknown- he said it could be both....which I'm taking to mean it's unknow which of the two it could be).

Found in the 1971 Line Book BAWD0179 page 47 of 70.  Missing the whale on the dial.

Nice one Jim. I believe the whale symbol was only used for a small period as a replacement for 'water resistant'.
