Hello everyone! I am really a novice when it comes to watch collecting so I don't know where to get all the answers, so I apologize in advance if this one is trivial to some! I am trying to find out more about this old Bulova watch I purchased from an estate! Any info on it would be welcome! I have been told of two possible time-frames it could be from, one was 1875-1900 and the other 1900's-1910's. I think the fact that the 12:00 position on the dial is @ the 3:00 position next to the crown! I know it states to measure the watch but from where to where as these lugs are a single bar?

I'm sorry I forgot the rest besides measuring it!
It appears to be gold or gold filled.
It winds up just fine and keeps time well so far.
I would say it's a 7.5 or 8 out of 10.
The crystal is very clean.

Frankie, value of this and just about all gold filled ladies watches is low, usually under $50-75
