This was a "what the heck is that" purchase and has me mesmerized. By case s/n (second number), it's a 1925. Watch appears identical the 153 model, but face sports a recessed machined seconds sub-dial that appears factory original. Movement is a 10AN, which seems pretty unusual for a ladies watch.This one is a real work of art, with a hand engraved dial and highly decorated single hinged case. Jewel on crown is so dark it appears black. It came to me running and keeping time with no band. Case shows literally no wear. Crystal has a edge crack I can live with.

I took a single piece vintage 11mm cloth strap, cut it in half and sewed it onto the wire lugs.
Dear neetstuff, your watch is the 153/154 as only advertised in 1923. It was supplied until 1926 and carried the 10A movement. Your 10AN is a replacement of 1928, the year it received the seconds indicator as used in other ladies' models.

I agree with 153 with replacement dial. Gorgeous watch and I like it with this replacement.
