·I just received this watch. There wasn't a lot of information on the selling page about it but it looked like one of the Art Deco period watches. I'm not familiar with this period but looking at some of the examples on these two threads I think it's legit. Is this assessment correct? Also, do you think it's a desirable piece among collectors?

You can't tell from the photos but the hands have a dark blue color depending on the angle and how much light it hits them. The watch seems to be winding and running fine but I'm not gonna touch it until I get it to my watchmaker. I don't have a tool to open the caseback but I'll post a photo as soon as I have one.
Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help.
