Watch Description

Hi  - Just picked up this variant of a 1969 Sea King. Similar to one you ID'd a few years ago with the exception it only has the Whale symbol at the bottom and no Automatic or Sea King written on the dial. I paid $118 USD on Ebay but slightly more than 1/3 of that was shipping and local taxes as shipping to Australia is expensive.  cheers  Michael

Should be a match to this one...Sea King "CQ"

Dial variations are not uncommon; the Whale symbol was short-lived, a couple years maybe.

Here is the official line book reference for the Sea King "CQ". Nice to see another Aussie take an interest in these wonderful timepieces.

I'm Canberra based so I feel your pain when it comes to buying from eBay US.
