Here's a family photo of my Sky King collection:

Following are the original comments as entered by brother plainsman: Well ladies and gents, I haven't been as excited for a watch to arrive as this one in a looooong while. When I saw it I about choked.... everything looks absolutely legit to me.  Case and movement match. I have no idea if this was a "prototype" Sky King or maybe they made a super short run and this is the first one we've seen. Original matching two tone MAXIM bracelet.  It almost seems NOS.... or sock drawer candidate. I believe we've got here a (wait for it....) ULTRA RARE!!  Bulova wandering seconds Sky King! ]

Whatever it is, it's 100% unique and incredible and I'm so glad to see it here on myBulova.com. It's yet another amazing piece of Bulova history that's been uncovered.

For me it's an 'Unknown'.

Were these movements or this particular type sometimes Swiss made? The dial pic on page-2 shows SWISS under the 5 marker and I do not see that mark on other similar watches that provided a dial pic.

I vote Sky King, very stunning watch!
