Looks to be the AA 'R' variant, very sharp looking watch with original band!

1951 Ad and 1950 identical watch in the database

Can you post a photo of the back of the watch and/or provide us what is stamped there, in order to determine case date?

Agreed, AA "R".

What's wrong with the crystal in that watch? If it is plastic, you can polish any scratches out using 1500 grit wet&dry paper, and polish the "fogginess" away with Brasso. Works perfectly.

Turns out that crystal is not correct, it sits loose. I would like to replace it with a nice glass one.  If you know anyone here that sells them please pass on the request for me, 

thanks
