10 k RGP Bezel - Stainless steel back

Hello, I believe you have a Miss America "L" with a replacement movement/dial. The case is a M2 1962 but the movement looks like a 1942 with a T date stamp. We will either ID this as Non-Conforming because the parts are so far apart in age and the movement/dial is not the same as the original or we would ID it by the case. If the case design is distinct enough to clearly ID it as such. In this case I think I will go with the case ID because it is pretty distinct. From the 1963_LineBook_BAWD0151, page 1

I think you're right Kathy although I might be inclined to leave off the variant although I can go either way. 1962 Miss America (L?)
ceuban20 - note that the minute track around the dial is a different shape than the opening in the watch case through which the dial is viewed. When in the case this dial was originally placed in, we would be able to see that minute rack through the case opening.
I agree that the movement is likely a replacement and not original to the watch,
We can Id the case accordingly, but the movement, dial and hands look much earlier, with what looks to be a 1942 date code on the movement.
I say we need to categorise this as non-conforming, noting the case model as a 1962 Miss America.
Case is likely 1962 Miss America "L", but the large gap between case and movement dates, as well as the face not quite matching the bezel opening says it's a marriage of 2 watches. Based on the fact the case is distinct to the Miss America line and specifically the "L" in 1962
