Bulova 1972: Sea King, Date King?

Submitted by egidius on May 7, 2012 - 11:13am

Hi all,

Found a rather nice Bulova from 1972 recently (N2, J353804), but I'm unsure about the model. It came in a Date King box (see picture), but it looks different from most Date Kings I know: the case is a bit squared, for example, and it has a display for the day of the week. Could use some Bulova wisdom: what do you think...?
