Watch Description

This is a stainless steel case and case back with N0 date code.  The dial is blue with horizontal hour markers and a powder blue second hand.   The movement is an 11ANACB with an N2 date code so I suspect the rotor might have been replaced due to the two year difference between the case and movement date codes.   Based on the 1970 Linebook this is a 1970 Bulova Clipper AF.

I actually bought it from Dave who posted the other one.  He is a good friend of mine, and a huge collector of oceanographers and clippers.

I agree with the possible notion that the rotor is a replacement. Blue seems to be the 'in' color.

I own a blue car and live in a blue house, so I think I need a blue watch.....well that's my excuse and I'm sticking with it :-)
