Possibly a Douglas, 1946. White gold filled, 17 jewel manual, slate dial.
Wondering if the white gold version went by a different name.
Rev, silly question I know, but just confirming it is white gold filled?
I've found ads for the 'Douglas' showing as 'yellow' & 'red/rose/pink gold', so it's highly likely that it also cam in white gold. Still checking the ads.

Yep, White Gold Filled.
This 1946 Bulova advert shows the 'Red' as the Douglas 'A" and the "Yellow' as the Douglas 'B'.
No mention of a White gold version.
This is another in the DB:

On my example, the centre of the dial is bleached, maybe from excessive sunlight, but I really like these slate dials.
Interesting dilemma. I'm surprised we didn't have this discussion around the watch Jerin posted so long ago. I'm inclined to ID as Douglas but there is the 'no ad' question. I guess I'd have to tentative.
Agree Rev, the slate dial is a great combination to the white gold.
It is odd the ads only mention rose and yellow variants. It also seems unlikely that the white version would have a different name, since the other two did not. I'm good with Douglas id.
Agree with Douglas
Yeah, generic Douglas, but I think the white gold versions of this era were usually "C" weren't they?
The record for this watch needs correcting. Jewel count is listed as 17. Bob even says it’s 17. But the picture clearly shows a 21 Jewel movement.
