Watch Description

So I picked this up because I believe it is probably an Academy Award watch.  It is the same case as the "F" variant but with a dial like the "J" and "H".  The "A" has the curtain dial with a "J" having this dial.  The "B" has a curtain dial and the matching "H" with this dial.  So my thought is that the "F" has a sister watch with this dial.  But it is just a guess until an ad might show up for it.  Until then I will keep it just in case.  It is 10K gold filled, has a 21 jewel 6BA working movement.  What are your thoughts?  Should it be a "F" or Unknown or a generic Academy Award?

Update:  Found an ad for Her Excellency "MM" that matches this watch.  Replacing ad.

Finally she reveals herself!

Good advert match. Hands are slightly different, but I think its a match all the same.
