1945 Douglas
I'm good with the Douglas... what year did this become the Brigadier?
Hmmm, this is a Douglas, the Brigadier seems to pop up in 1948 in the watch data base, The Douglas shows up in ads from 1945 to 1948. The only thing we have on the Brigadier is a thumbnail taken from a undated snippet. It appears in the watch db but not in the adverts. We have three or four watches ID'd from it that might need to be reviewed.

I'm good with Douglas ID. The date is in line w/ the ads. Is the subject watch Rose Gold? I can't tell from the photos, but the dial kinda says Rose Gold, as do the four Douglas ads linked above.

Douglas it is.
I don't know about 1945, but by 1946 we see Model variant is "A" for red gold, "B" yellow gold.

Second 1946 ad w/ dial variation.
I'd go for a tentative 1945 Douglas "A" based on gold color and ad text above.
