I think your watch is La Petite "K" like this one

Case is marked M4 and movement M5, therefore your watch is 1965 Bulova La Petite "K"

Hi Jabs

Thank you for clearing up how to date a watch for me...the youngest date prevails I am getting.  As far as listing 1955 instead of 1965---just me being careless.  Anyway to edit that?  Thank you again
