Hello again Panel,

I hope that you can confirm this as a 1962 Bulova Rawlings?

Confirmed - another nice one

1961 Rawlings, and it would appear to be the "A" variant. Yellow case w/white face

Like this one

According to the 1961 price list, there were 4 variants that year as seen here

Yes you have it spot on.  Like this from the 1962 line book page 37.

Cool watch, I like it. I'd probably go with the F variant even though the line book states expansion band.
