I do not have a picture, but i will describe my watch as best as i can. it is a 1940's (i've been told) ladies Croton wrist watch. 14kt white gold case and band with a total of 73 diamonds, with the diamonds on the band being the largest compared to the case. very petite watch, with a straight line of diamonds for the band, and a square shaped face-silverish in color. the casing around the face is surrounded by small diamonds, and the whole case itself is in the shape of a diamond with points vertically and the sides squared off. <=> it is a self-wind watch, non-waterproof. the writing above the dial says Croton with EL right benith it and below the dial it says Nivada Grenchen, and below the number six (6) it says Swiss. i would greatly appreciate any info you have about my watch, like how old it really is, and the value. I bought it for $400.00 so i hope its worth at least that much. :-) thank you.

Hi there. The value is going to be near the value of the gold and stones. It is probably 1950s arther than 1940s. Perhaps you can take it to a jewler to determine how much it is worth as it will be more valued as such than a watch.
