Watch Description

Back and movement both marked M9. Lume dots at indices and lumed hands. I'm at a bit of a loss on this one. It's too late to be a "23" and doesn't seem to be a match to anything else I can find. It seems like it should be a Date King or perhaps a President by casing and face, but the jewel count is the issue. It appears this is a first for the Db. Searching 23 jewels in the mid to late 60's came up empty. Whatsit?

Just did a survey of 1969_LineBook_BAWD0172 and there is a dedicated section to Sea King model variants - pages 22-34. Based on case, face, calendar window and jewel count, the only Sea King to match subject watch on any band is the "BN".
