Watch Description

Here's a pretty easy one. I found it as a Buy it Now 16 minutes after it was listed priced like a junk non-functioning parts watch. Diamonds at 12, 3, and 9. It came looking pretty dirty, but after a exterior cleaning, removal of dust and fuzz from the dial it looks great and is running and keeping time. No apparent plating wear. I missed some fuzz clinging to the crown that I didn't see until I uploaded the photos. Mounted on a clean period band that is a pretty good match to case engraving. Second hand appears to be a replacement, but oh well.

How's the size of these, too small, too large (prob not)....just right? 

Always wondered how it would look on the wrist.

Thanks, Stephen. Size is approx. 28MM x 28MM not counting crown and lugs. Size wise, I guess beauty is in the eye of the beerholder. I have no prob with it, as a matter of fact I'm wearing it right now. 7" wrist. That's just me as I prefer vintage sized watches over the current "tuna can on a band" style.

That's a great look Neetstuf. It has just enough bling to look classy without looking tacky.

Thanks, great comment. That's exactly how I feel about all the diamond dial Bulovas from the 50's and 60's. Subdued class without crass flash. They are one of my collecting focus points.....
