Hi rogersonw, welcome to myBulova. Nice looking watch. Remembering that the difference between 1971 and 1972 is but one day, it appears that your movement was made in late 1971 and by the time it got to the assembly line the 1972 cases were being used. Not at all an uncommon occurrence.

I agree with Bob - it's a Sea King GK
