Watch Description

Given to my mother in 1947.  Inside the case are 2 hand scratched sequences of letters and numbers: WF 450 (with the W and the F merged into a single character) and LL 14154 (2nd L sort of has another mark and could be a U).  

The model appears to be a Goddess of Time.  14K, Bulova, New York.

Any insight on how to restore the face as it appears to have discolored over the years?  Any ideas on where to find a band for it?
