Watch Description

Not sure of the date code symbol. Could be the curved top T, or maybe an X.  The stem is broken off inside and the case is in rough shape, so I doubt I'll get it repaired, ( if it's even possible to repair it).  Band appears to be original.

I didn't find anything like it in the info on this website    -  Thanks for your help.

1932 Bulova Unknown. Looks like a sister to THIS girl. Case and movement both date to 1932. Is it possible it YELLOW gold?

Well thanks very much! I suppose it could be yellow gold, but it looks rose compared to one that is yellow.   The back looks more like yellow gold than the front and band.

It certainly does look like a match to the one in the link you sent.

I polished the watch a little, and it does look like it is yellow gold after all.....

That does look like a version of this watch! Thanks. Some differences like the border on the face, the part where the watch holds the band, and the band itself (could have been changed)

Thanks very much for the ID!

You're correct, there are subtle differences so unfortunately the watch is not the 'CELESTINE'

Couldn't it be a version of Celestine. (A, B, C, etc ) They do look similar.

Thanks

I looked thru all the ads and could not find a match.  Unknown for me.
