If the late 1950's ads showing the 'SEA KING' were Dated a little closer to 1968 I'd have a positive ID.

IMO this Watch is the '68 SEA KING

Not sure of this one as I found two variants for what appears to be the same watch.  The 1969 Linebook BAWD00172 shows this as a Bulova Sea King "D" while the 1967 LineBook BAWD0168 has this as Bulova Sea King AM

Any thoughts on this one?  Since we do not have a 1968 line book not sure but leaning towards Sea King D.

I wonder if we would be better with the last 'known' variant, the AM?

I agree with the earlier variant "AM"

Difference being the strap (band), or Year of manufacture?

 

I would prefer no variant be noted on this Watch as it doesn't match the "D" nor the "AM".
