Hi Gareth896. That is a fine example of the President you have. The closest ad I could find is from 1940.
Your watch would have been the President "D" in 1940. The "F" variant was rose gold and had a different dial and different colored hands. I can't say if this changed in 1943 or not as I can't find a 1943 ad listing the variants. I wouldn't think it did. Going by the one in the ad, I would think your band should be the same width as the lugs and yours looks narrower in your photos. This leads me to believe the band has been replaced at some time in the past. Someone on here will probably no more about it than I do.
