Record has been updated to 23 jewels.

I wonder if the case is actually 7532. That case holds a 11AOACB and is listed as 'W" (white) and "B" (Bulova). I'm 40/60 on it being a 5 instead of a 6....not sure.

I agree that the movement and rotor are not a correct combination. A 23 jewelled movement should look lik the below movement, showing the extra bridge jewels at the 5 and 6 o'clock positions.

I'm going to ID a non-conforming as it is likely a mixed bag of components assembled and we have no way of knowing what are the true original parts of this watch.

Did it start out life as a 23 jewelled movement with a 11AOACB and had a movement swap to a 17 jewelled version of a 11ANACB? Who knows.

Muito obrigado Administrador por estas informações. Aceito perfeitamente a designação "Não Conforme", no entanto, o relógio corre perfeitamente e tem boa aparência no pulso. Provavelmente o anterior proprietário trocou o movimento. Nas feiras de velharias ou sítios da NET onde compro os meus relógios antigos, não sabem o historial desses relógios.
