Watch Description

It has the arrow but also the sign that looks like a fancy A. I wanted to get an estimate of what this watch may be worth. The band says USA don't know if it is the original. It has 4 "emeralds" and 2 "diamonds" on the front, do not know if they are real . The watch works

Cindy   If your watch case is the Miverva, then your band does not match the band in the 1930 ad. 

These bands seen in the ads didn't survive as long as the watches in most cases, and were often replaced at a later date in time.

1930 ad 2 shows the 'MINERVA'

The flex band is not original to the Watch.

IMO

Hi Cindy.  I'm still a little confused because it's entered as a 1930 date, but w/ an arrow (1937) date symbol on a 6APA movement (the part with the gears).  I can't find an 6APA in any database, ours or others.  Maybe these fields just need to be updated?   Maybe the "fancy A" on the movement is an omega symbol (1930)?  It sure is beautiful regardless!!
