Watch Description

Sorry, posting this a second time. I'm hoping the mods can remove the first.  Recent purchase. It's my birth-year watch. It's currently in my brother's possession in Canada while I'm in India. I'll pick it up at Christmas.  I love the look of this watch, and it fits the description of the Sea King from the 1972 catalog here(1972 Bulova Advertisement 5261 - screen capt'd and added). The only thing it's missing is the little whale on the dial. (Not sure if it is actually missing, or if it's a 'redial') I'll update the info here once I have it in hand.

Nice looking watch, I agree it's Sea King GH. Full advert here.

Sea King GH. We see dials with or without the whale; your dial looks to be original.

I love this watch. I had an issue with the movement holder being damaged, which wouldn't allow for the caseback to snap on. I managed to reshape the holder and then get the caseback pressed on at a local watchmaker.
I'm really enjoying this watch.
