I believe it to be a Dulcie, identified by referencing the 1951 advertisements chronicled here on myBulova.com
I can only find the Dulcie in 1951/52 on newspapers and Caprice in 52/53. So I thought maybe this is a name change to Caprice in 52 but in the 1953 price guide they have different model numbers, with Dulcie being in the accumulated section. Where the Academy Award "OO" and "PP" change to Martha Washington "A" and "B" with the same model numbers. They are the same price at $55 and the ad pic seem almost identical. So do we have a Dulcie in 51/52 and Caprice "A" in late 52 and 53? The bands also change.

To further muddy the water here is a 1951 ad with Caprice in it. So because they have different model numbers and there is not an overlap in 1951 I am going to go with the one ad that clearly shows it is a match with Caprice.
