I just purchased this from the jewelers as an estate piece. It was in the store for quite some time and all that time I had admired it. I really like it so it really doesn't matter if it is made out of mud. But, I would like to know what model it is. There is nothing that the jeweler knows. I purchased it for 1/2 what he wanted for it, so of course I think I have a bargain. I just hope that I do. What do you think I have? Thanks! = newtuen of wventa. Hi All, thanks for trying to figure out what this piece is. It is baffling me. However, today after doing strenuous exercise, I had found that the back and the casing had fallen out of the watch itself. After frantic searching, I found it. I was able to take a picture of the inside workings, and maybe this can shed more light on the subject. Thanks again for all your help.

Takka2 - It appears that we do not have an ad that matches your beautiful watch. It's similar to a model called "Golden Centennial", the difference being the two diamonds, the GC is not shown with them. Until we find something that matches, I would have to call this one "Unknown".
We do not have the wherewithal to do price valuations but If you think you got a deal then I declare that you did. I often say that an object such as a vintage watch is worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it.
How are We determining the Jewel count and a 1973 date of manufacture?

Thanks all with your help. I do not have the capability to take off the back personally to determine movement. So I Will take your word for it as you are experts! If I ever get the back off, I will take pics. Thanks for the ad bit looks just like the watch except for the black band.

Strange turn of events . I was conducting strenuous excercize and realized that about 1/2 hour into it that the back and casing fell out of my watch face and diamonds!!
I did find them after lengthy search, but I was able to take pictures of the back and the inside of the caseing and movement so I have updated it. Please check again ... Maybe this can help you.
Thanks,
