Thanks Mike... I'm trying!  Though... I recently just dumped a pile of money into some family time equipment so we're going to but the new watch buying on hold for a bit!  Time for some Summer! FINALLY!

This winter was an absolute bear man....

 Jerin,

If I am not mistaken, the AA on the top left is the "Q" model.  Check your Ringling Bros. ad.

Bottom left looks like an Excellency, though it is not marked as such on the face.

Yeah... I think the case is similar... but I bought it with the box in question and the seller assured me it was sold together back in the day... though obviously I've not seen an ad of it yet... though I personally believe it's probably an AA.  I haven't seen an X dial from 1950-51 in any other model.

 I dont think bottom left is an academy either for what its worth. Shows no traits of an academy at all in my opinion, but who knows. I'd go with an excellency.  I'll get my AA lot pictured soon and post on here. Got to find them all first though.

Hey Jerin, Well without any doubt you have the 2 " N " Models,  the  X dial " Q " and the X dial " R " as well as the ladies.

The other, well your X dial theory is noteworthy we  need to find some ads to prove it out. For the time being I'd hold on to it as a strong maybe, could be but still unknown.
