Watch Description

Found this watch in a bag of jewelry that belonged to my fathers second wife. She died in 2004. I am guessing  from my research that this watch is art deco and yes those are real diamonds an rubies. I would like to sell this watch.

 

Picture of movement also included and the inside of the watch case.  Will take pic of outside case as well.

Case is 14 K gold

I'm still not sold on the "embellishment" theory.  There are several similar Bulova for which we have ads indicating diamonds/rubies at point of sale.   I would think that if the "husband" customized the watch for his wife, he would have also had some dedication or personal engraving done on the watch too.  Either way, it's sure a nice watch!  Thanks for adding it to the database.
