I'm sure this is an Academy Award, but I'm not sure which variant. It has a neat "Corfam" band - I'm not sure if it is original or not. I gotr this one for my wife. She's a vintage movie fan and this is her favorite watch. OK condition and runs well. 10K YGF Bulova case. Case marked L0 for 1950, but movement marked A9 for 1949. Not sure if it was common for movement and case year numbers not to match. Perhaps this is a rplacement case?

Academy Award "X".
Watch originally came on leather. The Corfam "patent leather" band is a replacement, likely production dated between 1963 and 1972, which was the time frame it was produced..
No issue with movement date of 49 and case date of 50. It's quite common. Watch should probably be dated by the case.

Sweet, Great condition. A very nice example of a AA - X.
I have to get my collection of AA's from storage and get them posted. I have them all, in display cases and some with guarentee papers. Over achiever to aquire them all, slacker when it comes to posting. LOL
Admin, The ribbed dials are actually Curtain dials. So I've been told by a few collectors and researcher's.
