The Watch looks very neatly put together, the Dial follows the lines of the Case Bezel perfectly.
This 'Dot - Dash' Dial appears in 1941 on the 'PRESIDENT', it's also seen in the 'CONRAD'.. and others. - 'SQUADRON' (?)
Is it too far of a stretch for a 1944 Case to have a 1947 Movement? ...particularly when the Case is solid 14k. Dating the Watch to the Movement is the correct way to go about this IMO, did it come this way is the big question mark.
If I had a 1944 solid gold case and the movement went south on me I would take it to a watch maker and tell him to put something good in it cause I wasn't planning on getting rid of it. That may explain the 47 movement. Some savy watch maker saw an opportunity to make a few bucks extra and create something never seen before.IMO
