Watch Description

This watch was a fun one to get.  First I never thought I would be able to find one and then my husband offered to get it as an anniversary gift which gave me the liberty to bid a bit more than I might have otherwise.  Happily I am the new owner of this rare bird.  It is in very nice condition, the engraving is nice and crisp, the dial is bright and was advertised as working but I haven't tried to run it.  

It has a 1929 movement and 1930 case.  I believe these were only advertised with rubies in 1930, at least that is all I have seen.  I personally love emerald and ruby watches but it seems sapphire was the top stone of the time period.  Will include a comparison shot with the emerald Miss Liberty.  Ad is from The_Bellingham_Herald_Fri__Oct_3__1930

That's a pretty nice gift! Congrats, I wondered if you got this one :o)

A superb example! That band is a nice match.

Thanks Bob!  Funny the first Miss Liberty I got was a sapphire one.  When I got the emerald version I sold the sapphire one.  Now I am kicking myself lol no rush, I will get another one someday.
