Watch Description

10Kt Yellow Gold Filled case ; 2 diamonds, ~ 0.01ct. each, are set in white (gold?) areas, one in each lug. ; Case measures 27.7 x 14.2mm w/o crown. ; Crown is signed 'Bulova' ; Crystal magnification distorts dial outer minute  register...they looked curved when viewed through crystal and are straight outside of crystal ; White base metal shows on lugs where gold has worn away ; Case inside is marked "Bulova Fifth Ave New York" but was not photo-friendly due to heavy patina ;  I have an idea of what this is and it was hard to find. I will let those who enjoy sleuthing to give it a try...
