Watch Description

1970(N0) Bulova, cal 11BLC, stainless case, light blue gradient dial, big applied index markers. Inside case number T-2913, outside case number E32924. Movement and case date codes match. The case matches my '69 Sea King 'FL' exactly. I'm not sure what this is, I'm guessing Sea King of some variant, but I've never seen this before. Thanks for taking a look!

Very unusual dial. I checked the line books and could not find anything. I’m fairly certain it’s a Sea King.  Probably one of the variance we do not have confirmation of.

sorry, no luck here finding a match. Case was used in the Sea King line, so that is a likely candidate.

Unknown for now

This look like the white dial version, I think also the same case. I'll have to open mine up and check the numbers.

Interesting there is one right now for sale on eBay just like this. Not Dave's but another just like it.   Definitely a factory model.

Dave I think I finally found this one in the 1973-1975 Linebook BAWD0184 PAGE 195.  Looks to be a match to the Model #11535-2W
