Thanks for the comments and insights.  I was excited that the watch actually worked with new batterys and am in the process of finding a nice Bulova strap...I'd like to wear it occasionally.

Since I tag along with my wife as she scours various antique/flea markets looking for items for her business...now I have something to occupy my time...looking for Bulova watches!

I enjoy reading the mybulova site, quite interesting.  Trying to gain knowledge on Bulova history so I know what I find.

I am sure I overpaid for the '76 Computron ($19) but I was just excited to find it on a recent trip.  Also haven't found another photo of it and the add was the only picture I came across.  And hey it works and actually is scratch free on the glass.

The LCD which is entered in the variant field describes a component of this Computron.  So the variant is unknown.  Sure looks like the K from the ad.
