Here is an interesting one. It is a yellow gold plated case with gold plated case back with an N2 date code. The dial is an awesome Rally dial with red checkerboard minute track on a speckle textured dial. It has applied hour markers with gold hands and a red second hand. The movement is a 11ANACB based on it is printed on the the Day Wheel but is missing the rotor and needs some parts to run. Looking for a donor movement if anyone has one. Based on the 1973 Linebook BAWD0181 page 31 this is a Jet Clipper "F". This is a first for this model and variant in the MyBulova database and kind of late for this name which was common in the 1960s.

Hmmm now I wonder.... The line book listing was from 1973. I found the following 1972 Ad from McLeans Magazine in Canada calling this a President. Makes me wonder if it was called a President in 1972 and by 1973 became the Jet Clipper F. Thoughts?
Macleans Magazine 1972 December 1
Well, this is interesting. Year difference in linebook and ad with different model numbers. Different bands would suggest a different model #, but maybe not. I just ran across a similar same time period band discrepancy on another watch being Citizen "C" . 1971 linebook shows it on an expansion band and a single 1972 ad depicts it on Corfam strap.
There is also the US/Canada different name possibility, but that is questionable. Nov. 1972 (ad dated Dec) was a Presidential election year with Nixon winning by the largest popular vote margin to that point.
There is also the possibility the single ad is incorrect?
Unfortunately we have no 1972 linebook to reference. If a second ad surfaces calling it President in 1972, I'm in. Coin flip for me as well, but I lean towards the linebook for now noting the single Canadian ad.
