Thanks Ken. It’s true some 47 ambasador really look like mine but with a different dial. So my watch is probably a Excellency “HH”

Is it my monitor? This looks like yellow gold to me.

Don't recall seeing any 14k gold filled yellow for this model. The yellow and white Ambassador and His Excellency similar models in the database show 10K GF, with the rose cases being 14K GF. The 14k is usually reserved for the rose gold, as is this color of dial. I have to agree, it sure looks yellow.

I'm on the fence. Is face an even copper color? It appears on my monitor to be a lighter color around the edges with mottled age toning in the center.

I am tentative HE "GG" awaiting confirmation on face color and movement, noting possible 14K/10K gold fill discrepancy.

Could this be a marriage possibly?  An Ambassador case and HE "GG" dial maybe?
