Hi,
Below are some photos of a vintage Eska watch I recently acquired. I have had it serviced and it's running well. It came with the tag attached and is apparently "new old stock". I'm interested in knowing when it was made (approximate) and a value (approximate) for it. The jeweler who serviced it thinks it's from the 20's or 30's based on the curved crystal and style. I believe the case and band are stainless with rhinestones around the face and on the buckle, a few of them are dark because the foil back has deteriorated but they are all there. There are no marks on the case or the back.
Thanks!

I think it's a 1940s watch, maybe even early 1950s.
Value is not high, since it's not gold.

Just curious, but what is the top end of "not much"? A couple hundred-ish?
Re: Vintage ladies Eska 17j manual wind
Maybe $150 in a ideal circumstance. You might was to see what the case is made of. With any luck it's gold.
