Watch Description

After looking through the information on this site, I'm after clarification. The movement 11ALACD dates it to 1967 F? Case Number 386 M6 to 1963, i think but the Bulova print on the face does not seem to match a 1963. Or the Bezel. I'm assuming the strap is not an original Snorkel.

Welcome to mybulova. It appears to me that both the movement and case are marked "M6";  that dates the watch 1966. Your watch is a

1966 Snorkel "F"

like this one.

Cool watch, I always liked this model. 386 is the case part number. The movement you have 11ALACD was used in some of the these models and the 11AFACD was used in other.
