Watch Description

I think this is the Academy Award "NN" variant.  It has a 10K gold plate bezel with a stainless back and L1 date stamp.  It has 6BC 21 jewel working movement with a L1 date stamp.  

Update:  Added new photos with a correct NOS band.

The 'NN' variant is yellow RGP w/ stainless back, and the design is a good match to your watch. Nice find.

Just replaced the band with a correct NOS band.  I was pretty excited to find it.  Fits and looks great : )
