You've got the Sea King "CH", like this one.

They're almost duplicates, I love how the dials on both are flawless, the crystal on mine when I first got it was badly scratched, which one would expect. I would have normally switched it out for a new crystal except this one has the 24 hour dial markers painted on the inside of it. Honestly when I saw it I thought the numbers were painted on the dial itself. Does anyone have a part number for the crystal with 24hr markers?  I'd like to pick one up in case I damage this one beyond repair. 

Sea King "CH"  nice

Thanks Andersok

Wow that looks fantastic. I'm loving the strap combination and those lugs really give the case some girth, making it look just that little larger on the wrist. That's a keeper.
