This is a 14K gold watch with 14K gold band, 7 diamonds on the face cover. The cover opens to reveal the time. Serial number 318716. How old is it and how much would it be worth? The date code is not on the back of the watch.
Do you think it's a Bulova watch? Doesn't appear to have Bulova on the dial. There is info on the case back, inside case back and on the movement (the mechanical part w/ gears) which would also say Bulova. The site addresses Bulova watches, and can help with those suspected to be Bulova. If there's no indication of this being a Bulova, then it may not be the correct forum to address your questions. Let us know please. Will

Thanks The pics were a little hard to see. Great watch. Sure wish you could get a look inside and get a picture of the movement. It has jewel count and other useful stuff, including a date code system marking. If you can ad some pictures similar to other watches entered, it will help.
We don't do valuations on site, but you may get opinions like "that's rare, never seen one" which may help you determine it's scarcity. It looks like a big hunk of gold, so that can give you a minimum value, but again, we don't address that here either.

Unfortunately, I could not get a good quality pic. I'm a novice and do not want to open the watch myself. Do you know what the style of the watch is? I have spent countless hours searching for a watch similar and can't seem to find one. Would you suggest I take it to a reputable jewerly?
El That's a good route to go. Your watch is at very least uncommon, which is a good thing. It's kinda a rule of thumb not to sell to the person you ask for an appraisal, as that can be a conflict of interest. I've heard folks say "Well it's worth about $400 but I'll give you $350 for it". You get the idea. There's a reason they offer $350 for a "$400 watch". Maybe a jeweler could open it for you and get more information. Perhaps they would even let you take more photos? Good luck. She's a beauty!
