Watch Description

This is my 1967 Bulova Sea King model "EO". It runs and keeps time well. This specific watch will not be for sale, but I may soon have some to put up for sale. I lost the ad that I used to identify this exact watch, but I do believe this is a first for this specific model on the forum. If anyone spots the movement serial #, I will be more than happy to add it. This was a wild find at a local flea for 25$. Good luck to all of you, as this proves nice watches are still in the wild! Happy hunting!

I think I got it!. Same as this one, right down to the 23J movement, which contradicts the ads stating 17.

1967 Date King "LL" with the possibility of a movement or winding rotor  swap (23 on a 17)?

This is the second example of this configuration we have had presented to the database, so I suspect it's legit as seen.

Nice find Bob!  I am with you on this one, noting movement difference.

I would also agree with Date King "LL"

The dial is hard to read, but if it were an actual 23 jewel, it would have that on the dial.
