I think he means this one:

A quick search on Google shows a few available for sale, none of which I like. You are going to need to be patient. This style of watch is not that popular right now and many are being melted for the gold content.

Good luck with your search.

One literally just popped up on eBay today: https://ebay.us/m/kD9PsO
They are asking about double what I think the watch is worth. It may be 14K solid gold, but it is quite small. By my rough calculations, there is no more than $1,000 in gold value there as of today.

That seller is dating his Washington 1940-49, which is a long run. after 1950 the Washingtons appeared to get a facelift with a floating outer ring between the knots, which may have been produced into the 1960s?

I don’t think that watch is a Washington or Ambassador.

However, I was able to find another example on eBay for a higher price:

The dial looks correct to me and it comes with an original Longines watchband. Seller is taking offers, so give it shot but don’t overpay. It is going to need a service.
