I don't know anything about watches, except what I've read here the past few months. I received this watch in my late mother's belongings. I believe it may have belonged to her mother, as my mother was born in 1935. This sat in her jewelry box my entire life. My sisters put it in the throw away pile but I thought it was worth holding on to. I can't find much of anything online about the Diana, which I believe may be from 1930. Wondering if it is rare and if there is value? I haven't been able to identify the band, other than it says Kreisler Quality Gold Cont 025 USA. Thanks for any info, this seems to be a very informative site. Willing to sell.

I've opened it!! The inside of the case says Pat Jun 10, 1924 Bulova 14k. The movement says Fifteen 15 Jewels, Bulova Watch Co and has the date code symbol for 1930. It seems to have the letters SAP, perhaps for sapphire. I haven't been able to take a clear pic. The movement does have a clear covering over it. Not sure if that is standard. Anything else I should look for?
That is for the regulation of the movement, and the F is for fast or faster, and by moving the gauge in that direction in tiny increments watchmakers can speed up the movement.
On the other side should be an S for slow or slower.
Some watches have A and R instead of, or as well as, the F and S.
A is for advance and R is for retard.
