Fantastic white gold version of the 1949 Academy Award Model "T", sporting a 7AA, 21 Jewel movement. New crystal, just serviced, new seconds hand. Thanks so much to Mike at Timemachines for the tuneups! I was going to sell this one but I think after seeing how great it looks, it'll be staying with ol' Plainsmen. I had originally thought when I was purchasing it off auction it was natural yellow gold as seen in the pic below. Not so much when I opened it up! Seems to me that the white gold versions are fewer and farther in between than their natural gold bretheren.
Here's the before:

Uhmmm lemme take a look here Bob....
Hrmmm... very interesting Mr. Bob...... caseback is giving me a very distinct "L0".
So... a 7AA movement which didn't come out until 1950 stamped 1949... in a 1950 case.
Maybe one of the first 7AA's out at the tail end of 1949 that was used in it's 1950 Academy Award T?

Oh I totally agree admin.... hence all the double and triple stamped movements out there. Though i think Bob's deal was that the 7AA movement itself was thought to have not come out until 1950... so to have a 1949 stamp would be unusual.... though... makes sense in this watch.
