Watch Description

This was an "as is" purchase from the bay. I wasn't expecting too much but it runs. It's a little tricky winding. Have to hold the winding stem in a certain position to wind it. I think there may be a problem with the setting lever spring but haven't done anything to the watch yet. It's exactly the way received right now. There's another one on here like it with blue stones on the case listed as unknown. This one has 4 green stones and two white stones and the dial is different from the other example.

This new 1933 ad that just posted in the forum sure looks close.  This is called a Christiana. It doesn't mention the diamonds but it looks like there are there in the picture.

I might be wrong but I believe that ad is for one with a case like the one in the yellow rectangle here.

Are the middle stones also emeralds? Would explain the mention of 6 emeralds and the lack of mention for diamonds.

This ad shows the Justine, as advertised in 1931 by many jewellers throughout the year in many ads.
