Watch Description

Ladies fob watch. Yellow gold coloured metal with decorative face. I think it might be a 1922/23 Lady Maxim, although, from your website, the case serial number seems to indicate a late 1920s date. It has been serviced and works. Thanks for your opinions

Dear Dinah, your watch is most likely from 1920, so even 2 years older than you think. 
Can you give me one additional info? Where the crown goes in the movement, there is a trapezoid stamped. Inside is a number. Can you confirm if it is 10 or 16? Thank you!

There are 2 known model names for a Ladies watch in this era, the 'RUBAIYAT' and the 'LADY MAXIM' 

several ads show the case and Jewel count as the 'LADY MAXIM', but not the dial.

Beautiful early watch, congrats!  Looking at other early models it looks like a 1920 Lady Maxim to me.
