Talking about little ladies wrist watches... I have always wondered which little gem of a watch was worn by the well-known Mercury & Gemini astronauts' nurse miss Dolores "Dee" O'Hara ...
Remember in 1970 she was involved in the decision to ground astronaut Ken Mattingly due to the concern he might have contracted German measles... On Apollo 13 he was replaced by John Jack Swigert... (Photo: NASA)

Thanks for all of the replies and information! It amazes me how they make these so small and detailed. When I took it out of the case it really glittered under the light, very well made, even though it's older and not working.

It’s a beautiful piece. I would keep it and see if you can get it working.

My mother had an identical-looking Croton. They're so similar it's almost impossible to tell.
