Looks to be 1953 Academy Award "ZZ," but while the case has a L3 code, the movement shows L2. I'm not sure which date takes the default
Case date takes precedence. I agree
1953 Academy Award "ZZ"
To my knowledge, the "ZZ" is the only AA variant case dated past 1952 we have seen so far.
Academy Award "ZZ"
The Craftsman with the same model # 37109 and $95 price was available in 1953 and after, but I don't see a photo of this model.
1953 Bulova Academy Award "ZZ" is a good match.
Yeah tough call. This from the frist linebook we have that has models going back to 1951. The question is when did the model name change, or is it a mount (bracelet) thing?
We have a few other 1953 exampes in the database that look to be an exact match, including the gold filld expansion band.
