Watch Description

Hi all  another little gem that I would like the panels opinion on please. I believe it is a "Douglas". The movement is marked 48 but the serial number starts with a 9 so I think it would be classed as a 1949 model. The case has no ware through or scratches on it and the crystal looks new. The band is definatly a replacement as it is marked Hong Gong

Tentative Brigadier based on the closest match in the ad Bobbee posted; no mention of the darker dial option

Still, unknow for me. We have nothing describing a version with a charcoal dial.

I'm inclined to go with Brigadier, either we just don't have the ad with the mention of the dial, or possibly it was changed, but for all intents and purposes I believe it's a Brigadier.
