Hello Geoff Baker and neetstuf-4-u!

We can then consider this Bulova as a 1968 Bulova Date King "TT". Thanks so much for your help.

This watch also matches the Sea King "DW" (automatic on dial)

Linebook: 1969_LineBook_BAWD0170 Pg 31

Another watch that might be mount based.

I think you may be on to something, Stephen.The name may be color based. I jumped the gun on Date King. Ads list the "TT" as white and subject watch is yellow.

I agree and stand corrected, this is most likely a Sea King "DW" and I believe a first for the database.

Date King 'TT' is stainless steel. I'm inclined to go with the  Sea King 'DW'.

...and it took me all this time. I missed the color as well. Nice work team.

Hello to all MyBulova panel members. I appreciate all the effort. I will then review the identification of this Bulova watch and consider it tobe a 1968 Sea King "DW".
