Has 'Water Tite' stamped on the back case...thus

A 'Water Tite' variant unknown for me.

Any takers for Water Tite?

Don't we see the "water tite" markings on case backs of watches which are other than Water Tite models?

I'm suggesting Seabee based on the dial, the case matches all three ads but the dial is the difference. It wouldn't surprise me that all three would be marked watertite.

I'm good with Seabee...seems the closest match.

II agree with Admin, that Seabee ad is the closest match to the dial. Here again we might speculate that the artist just didn't get all the detail down to print.

I'm good with Seebee as tentative ID.  Shawn, the snippet above is from the Bulova-produced matt ads, so I'm guessing they were a little more reliable on artist rendition issues.

So any nays to the Seebee ID?
