This one has me stumped. I originally thought this might be a 1946 American Clipper but this one has engraved left and right side bezel. Note it is not engraved between the lugs. It is a 10AK 17J movement with a square date code. 10Kt Yellow rolled gold plate case with stainless case back.
Sorry Jim, I completely missed this one all week. It certainly would be nice if we had a better version of that advert. We have one similar American Clipper in the dB but it does not have the engraving. I'm not finding a match either

[/quote] yeah I've been trying to find the ad in a clearer version but not luck. It appears someone change this to a 1947 from a 1946. Was it based on the serial number because It clearly had square Date code.
FWIW there is a watch exactly like this on the watchophilia site. Its ID'd as an American Clipper there but the same ad without the engraving is used to justify it.
