help me indentify a Ladies Bulova

Submitted by mantisfist on March 13, 2011 - 6:41am

i just bought this and was wondering if any one can answer some questions about it ; like what style is it? or the name of it ,   what year was it made?

ART DECO Style... Solid two- tone (white and yellow) solid 14 karat gold, likely with (8) real diamonds? Probably made between 1928- 34??

You'll also need to upload an image of the reverse side of the movement, so the date can then be determined... and the movement details can also be identified...

If you can also measure the watch crystal within approx. .5mm, then perhaps once the movement is dated... I might be able to at least figure out which glass fits the timepiece? Or if it by chance needs to be replaced, I might well have one+ in stock?? 

 

Best :-)  Scott

I suspect an old case converted to a quartz movement.  Whatever it was, it is no more.

Unless this watch is a family heirloom and holds some sort of sentimental value I would have to say no.   However, as this watch is 14K Gold with a few diamonds, if you got it for the right price and could get the correct movement replaced there could be some money there.   It's a nice little watch.
