All the reading I did in the other threads about the AA I was convinced it was one or the other...I just guessed wrong lol.

I believe there is a bit more info now than there was when some of those posts were made. It would appear that Bulova continued to make the AA watches through their contract agreement but stopped directly advertising them around 1953. They were still on pricelist and in newspaper ads through the mid 50's. And even advertised in the odd closeout sale through 1960. So unless we have an ad that shows there was a model name change during this period, like the ladies "OO" becoming a Martha Washington, it remains an AA. This is just my opinion based on what I have read here and there. The exact date Bulova stopped making AA models is not clear.
AA "ZZ"
