In reply to Grampa, I have the same model by FifthAvenueRes…

When I got that watch & with the 8AD movement with J9 date stamp, I was thinking backward like a 5th grader. N=1970, M=1960, L=1950, K=1940, J=1930. The date code J9 was added for 1949 after I had entered the watch in the data base. Then yesterday in your Grampa note above, you stirred the pot a little & I checked the date codes and saw J9 for 1949. So I agreed with you yesterday. Today thinking like a 5th grader again, I looked at the movement again and it's an 8AD.

Yesterday I happened to buy a 1941 Senator from Shawn Bourget and it has an 8AE. Now this 5th grader stuff, 8AD comes before 8AE.
I believe the Senator with the 8AD J9 date stamp is 1939.
