Watch Description

A pretty nice example and my second one of these, one of the rarer ladies AA models in my opinion.  I changed the crystal with a CS 325 which is a domed 11.4 x 11.4, it should have the CS 325-326 which is flat but this is the only one I had on hand that fit, it changes the look of the dial a tad but still looks nice I think.  Also changed the band out for a cord band like the original.  Working 21 jewel movement, date stamped A9, I am going with the case date stamp of L0.  Two-tone case with yellow gold back, making this the "C".
