Hi, I was wondering if you could tell me anything about my watch. It is 18k white gold with diamonds and saphires. It says"Pioneer, 18k, W.C. Co., Belais, 92153" on the inside of the case lid. It says "Lily Watch Co.,2 adjustments, 2 positions,17 jewels and Swiss, Wilka Watch FY, Geneve, AR F6" on the workings. It also has what looks like rubies on the inside on the works. I will try to add a picture. I am not very computer savvy. The picture is too big. I would love to know how old it is and about the makers, (looks like lots of them) and what it is worth. It does appear to be working, however I don't know how to set it or wind it. Thanks for your help. Teri | ||

Hi, I forgot to ask, what is the best way to clean this watch and shine it up. Thanks Teri | ||

Not sure what that is exactly, possibly a Swiss made Wilka. Value is close to the value of the gold. Should set & wind conventionally. You can shine the gold up with a soft cloth and some polish, rubbing gently. I don't have any other info. | ||

Hello,I just aquired an old nonworking ladies watch with a tapestry-like band that clips on to the face of the watch. The watch looks like it can also be worn as a pin - small pocket watch. When the back is open, the part that separates from the inner working mechanism says "vogue warranteed 20 years" Then '9 1/4 LIGNE' and more numbers printed in a descending scoop underneath that. On the side where the workings are it says, "A LECOULTRE SWISS" and then there are some other numbers that look like '15 JLS' and then either '5 ADJ' or 'GADJ' - hard to make out since it is pretty dirty. My camera is broken or else I would upload a pic. It looks to be either gold filled or else gold. The face of the watch is a little less than an inch across. There are 3 visible jewels inside the back. Any info would be greatly appreciated. |
