51 Academy Award
I know Bulova had a 4 year contract to produce AA watches, before they got sued. But I've never seen any other model than the 1950. Has anyone ever seen a 1951 model? Just curious.

Bulova "Academy Award," Model "N," Circa 1950/51. Powered by the flagship 21 Jewel, 7AA movement (manufactured in 1949) and housed in a 10 karat yellow gold filled case, with the "X" factor original two- tone taupe and cream dial, sporting Grecoesque numerics and an "in miniature" sub second ensemble, at six o' clock. I will entertain ONLY serious offers for this RARE timepiece. It's the perfect compliment to the even RARER WHITE gold filled Academy Award Model "T" watch I also just posted here... This watch is also in excellent overall condition. And I may soon have a second matching (Academy Award) box set for it as well... My Best :-) William

This watch used to belong to my grandfather; before he passed away he gave me 2 bulova watches that used to belong to him, this is one of them , although it has been stored for a long time, it still works quite well. the strap may not be the original and it is very dirty. I would like to restore these watches in memory of him, but I cannot identify the model I would appreciate it a lot if someone has any info on this model.
