Perhaps an American Eagle?

Beautiful model Pedro, I agree it's an American Eagle. Here's Greg's watch to match it.

I am not fully certain about the American Eagle id. I found several ads for these, all for yellow gold versions, and all calling for a 21-jewel movement (where jewel count was stated). There is one yellow gold with a similar dial pattern, but none that stated the rose color option. Another look through the ads, but I don't see any other model that matches. I'm leaning towards Unknown model, but very tentative with American Eagle.

the case is undoubtedly American Eagle, but the movement including dial not,
my opinion is either Non-conforming or Unknown

Well, seeing your comments, I have been look for information about American Eagle and I agree. Perhaps the dial is correct but all the models use a 21 jewels movement.

With a 21 jewels movement the watch would be correct?

I'll go tentative American Eagle, no variant - noting possibility of a movement swap, or non-conforming based on general consensus.

Panel thoughts?

American Eagle, but as noted, possible movt replacement. The 7AP was used in quite a few watches.

I tend to agree that with an incorrect movement this watch, Whilst an American Eagle, should be classified as non-conforming. If a period 21 jeweled movement can be added that we can update accordingly.

I suspect this rose/pink gold version will also have its own designated variant.

Non Conforming it is then, sorry Pedro
