Watch Description

Lady Berkshire, purchased with a non working quartz movement which I replaced with a working donor 6BO. It required a longer stem to fit the case (thankyou 5th Avenue and Martin888 for your advice) ,which I could probably have cut a bit shorter but thought would quit whilst ahead! New hands  from Perrins. Dial is in poor shape with black Bulova printing missing. Keeping good time .

No sign of a baby Berkshire yet.

No mistake on this one - 1953 Bulova Lady Berkshire. I hope I look THIS good when I'm 71.  I also hope no one EVER puts a quartz movement in me!

That would be called a 'pacemaker' Geoff . I'd probably prefer that than a wind up :-)

Having the set myself I can truely appreciate having Mr and Mrs side-by-side.
