Other Details

 

NOTES: This watch has been tentatively ID'd as the Francine based on crystal specs.  This crystal is listed in G-S Catalog 1937 as being used by the Minerva and the Francine.  We have ads that show us the Minerva, so I'm going with Francine on this one.  I have an example of this watch in all white gold dated 1934 (1934 Francine).
