Watch Description

I have been wanting to get one example of an emerald stoned early ladies watch.  The Miss Liberty was my top choice.  They are pretty pricey so I had almost decided I wouldn't be getting one when this one popped up at a price I was happy with.  One of the stones is chipped but other than that I am very happy with it.  It is marked Bulova Quality, has a 15 jewel 6AP movement that started up for me.  I hope to pick up a filagree band for it at some point.

That's a real beauty, congrats! I personally think the Emerald and Sapphire accented watches are classic and really are a great style snapshot of the time period.

Thanks Bob!  I agree and felt it was worth adding to my collection even though it is not my main interest just for that reason.

This watch model was one of the first I ever serviced when I started my business, and set me on the road to being a Bulovisti.

I've always liked this model as it was the first ladies Bulova watches I owned and I think one of the original watches entered into the database back in 2006. To this day I'm still searching for a correct filigree band.

I like that it was a popular watch at the time it was sold new.  Holds a little more of a historical point for me.  If I ever see a correct filagree band I will let you know : )

Hi Alex,  Thank you!  I really wanted an emerald example so I was pretty happy to find this one.  And with the green cabochon crown.  Thank you for the advise on the movements.
