Wow, that's a pretty watch Ken, looks like it's never been worn? I love it when they come in the original display case. I think with this watch, we can establish the variant based on the price list.

This is were these early price guides really come into their own as a very valuable resource. Great find and a very nice ladies watch.

Great watch. Three ticks for ID.....and in a box, in some old jewelry store basement or attic, someone stored years and years of these price lists vs. throwing them away as the new quarterly came out.  If anyone reading this thread knows of one of these basement/attics, please check for that misplaced box of price lists.  They are out there somewhere....
