Watch Description

This is a Rocket.  It is in pretty nice shape especially the dial.  It is black with rose roman numerals, track and crown.  The hands are yellow gold.  The case is 14K rose gold filled with a 1943 serial #.  The movement is a working 7AM with a X date stamp for 1943 as well.  It came with the bracelet which has some wear but I really like how it sits on my wrist so I might leave it.

Here is a 1945 ad calling it "handsome" which is generally a masculine term..   Also note the width of the lugs vs the edge.    If you look at the documented ladies ad the lugs are much farther to the edge of the watch,   I wonder if they had both a mans and woman's version?
