I can't figure out how to bring an Advert over to here, but I  think I see this watch in the 1948 ad's, page or image #5

I believe the non-solid gold tuxeudos of this style are another model name....I just don't remember what..  Below is the Ambassador Daca mentions in the 1946 ad (in Rose??).

There is another model in 1946 called a Craftsman but it is also listed 14K solid.

The add that john is talking about has different lugs.

His Excellency "OO", 1948 ad.

So there's the 1948 His Excellency "FF" (JP mentions), the 1948 "OO" (I thought was "GG"), and Dave's Black and White  Ambassador ad (1946).  The transition to His Excellecy is about 1948? 
EDIT:  Dennis and I both thought that "OO" is a "GG".  Still not sure...
