Your watch is actually a mans watch. They were typically smaller back then. I've updated your record.

I've also update the date to 1962 as per the M2 on tghe case back.

Thank you for posting this little piggy of a watch,   It is a 1962 Bulova Sea King "C" based on the 1962 Bulova Linebook BAWD0148 page 47.   Not sure what the pig logo means but absolutely love it.

My guess is that this watch watch was given to buyers of Purina Hog Chow - I know that seems crazy but the product really did exist (maybe still does?) - PS - it DOES STILL EXIST

Thank you so much, everyone, for helping to identify the watch. I was also able to find another forum thread for a similar watch where it was identified as a watch related to Purina Hog Chow as well.

We aren't sure how we ended up with this watch. We know it's been sitting with our keepsakes for at least 20 years and came from either his dad or grandfather. But, as far as we know, no one has a tie with Purina. 

We don't really want to keep it, but we aren't sure what to do with it either!

The watch you linked above is the EXACT SAME watch (look at the serial number). It was added into that forum in 2011.

Brooke is a family member. I contacted her to see if she had already figured this out. I appreciate everyone's help and I'm sorry we've done this twice!
