Watch Description

This watch was found in my late great grandmother's jewlery case. The back of the watch says:

14K GOLD

BULOVA L2

185292

The movement is a 5AD, with 21 purple jewels and it corresponds with the L2 dating on the case. The crown is a replacement, and says "Elgin."

Any information you can share would be greatly appreciated! I am in love with this sweet watch, and would like to know more of it's story. And I know there's a mason charm  (as shown in one of the pictures) that doesn't belong to the original watch. I just don't have the heart to remove it yet. :)

Still wondering about the case style, because that seems to be the trickiest part to determine!

I'm seeing differences in the advert vs the subject watch. 

Specifically, the mono lugs are longer in the subject watch, and the decoration appears different, even given artistic inaccuracy. 

Jewel count is different also so I'm at unknown.

Still unknown for me.
