Watch Description

I am not sure of this one.    I am not familiar this version of the Senator dating back to 1943.   It is a 1943 rose gold plated case with a stainless back.  It has the copper dial with white and black exploded hour markers.  Here is yet another one of this model with stick hands so I am fairly certain they came from the factory with these hands.   The movement is a 17J 8AH with a triangle date code.  The ad is from 1946 but I believe the model has been around since 1945.  What does the panel think?   1943 Senator or 1943 Senator with 1945 movement and dial swap?
