Watch Description

Although I have tried to research this nothing seems to match when comparing to the data available. I thought this was a 1940 watch with the 6AH movement but it has 21 jewels and is 14k gold. I am new to this so I am looking for some help. Watch works great when I wound it for the first time since it was passed along to me.

Upon further investigation it does look alot like the 1940 and 1942 goddess of time watches posted here. Although not a perfect match as mine is more ornate around the crystal.

I also see what looks like the number 45 on the movement above the word Swiss. Could that be the movement year instead of triangle symbol or it could be a 46 instead of a square, I see this is possible in the chart. It does look more like a 45 than a 46 though.

I suspect it's a 46 and a square (photo isn't in great focus).

I'm not 100% sure, but at this stage I'm leaning towards a 1946 Bulova Dolly Madison,primarily because of the 21Js...leaning....

Thank you for the feedback. I have added a clearer photo of the movement.

The case looks like an American Girl to me but that should have a 17 jewel movement and wasn't 14K.  It probably has a unique name for the 14K version.  Haven't found a match yet but will keep looking.

It is definitely a 1946 as you can see on the updated clearer photo of the movement. I tried to change the year but I can not edit this as a user. Maybe the admin could change that.

thanks to all for the effort trying to identify.
