Watch Description

Preliminary diagnosis would be 1950 His Excellency.  I would guess a "KK"?  The movement is a 1949 (A9), 21 jewel 7AA, consistent with other His Excellency watches in the database.  The case is 1950 (L0), 10 K Gold Filled marked Bulova Fifth Ave New York.  I replaced the watch face and the hands but they both appear to be identical to the originals that came with the watch and I think they are both appropriate for the model.  Hope you all are well.

Hmmm...  I've probably got something like 80 watches now.  I'm afraid they're like candy.  :)
