Thank you! This a a one-piece strap, that fits well, I find, but there are still other ideas and I'm always on the run
for nice straps, you'll know that 馃槈....

I am going to say 14K gold-filled by Wadsworth.

doesn鈥檛 get onto my wrist but my wife won鈥檛 succumb to my request to photograph on her wrist. Palladium case, 4LL movement (tiny works of art, the small movements imo), $90. The case in palladium is worth $250 pure melt weight (palladium worth more than gold or platinum by weight for many reasons). Just received and needs some basic cleaning and a service but my wife likes these small watches because her wrist is so petite.

Woah, very neat! Possibly an engraved silver dial with enameled numerals? Do you know the serial number? Surely the price when new was similar. Palladium has shot up recently. Thanks for sharing.

ahh... wish were what you describe but I fear newer than that. Serial # on movement puts it at 1947. Broke out the loupe and dial appears painted. Silver and enamel would鈥檝e been way too cool. @bubba48 seems to have the eye to find the real cool older pieces. Sorry about pics but I haven't figured out how to do any macro shots with my old iphone!
