My husband purchased this from a pawn shop and gave it to me for Christmas. Our jeweler said it has about 3/4 to 1 karat of diamonds. The markings inside the case are M3, 5AR, 23 Jewels USA. The back has a Q 14K BULOVA. The stem has a B on it. There are 7 diamonds on each side of the face and 6 at each end. The band has a chip on each link. I was wondering if in addition to identifying anyone had a contact for a reliable appraiser in the St.Louis, Mo. area. I have seen other models such as Empress & Lapetite that resemble this watch. Thank you
Lovely watch. I live in St. Charles and I don't know of a reliable appraiser for vintage old bulova watches. Perhaps the only one who could be trusted to give you a respectable appraisal is Tony. PM me and I will give you his phone number and you can give him a call to see if he would even want to do an appraisal. I ask you to PM me because it is not proper to give this sort of information except in a PM to a specific member. My PM is JP.
