They are both probably late 1940s. If actually never seen one with an Arabic dial, interesting...not sure that adds value. What metal are they made of? |

The purse watch is gold I think because on the back it says Metal Dore (which according to Ency Brit is Silver, Gold & Platinum). BTW - I also have the original case for the purse watch. The Arabic Movado has a gold outer band around the bezel, a gold winding knob and the rest of the case is either silver or SS. |

"Metal Dore" is gold plate- value around $3-400 The wrist watch is solid gold bezel, probably around $6-700 unless the dial sells for a premium... |
