This has been a long time coming. I mean I found this about 2 1/2 years ago with my ATpro and it has been sitting with other odds and ends ever since. I thought it might be gold but never saw a mark on it or tested it and I could not get the back off it. So it just sat with the rusted out machine workings with no face plate in it. I thought if it was gold it would have a kart mark on it. Well I finally figured out how to get it open, (out of boredom) but the watch working were still inside the back plate. A little oil soaking and I was finally able to pry the working out and to my surprise was a vintage makers mark I think European and 18K. I was shock and pleasantly surprised.
As it is this turns out to be my first piece of gold I ever dug and I didn't even realize it back then. I wish I could find out the maker of this watch. I think it was made in the 20's or 30's
Gold watches like this from certain makers go for thousands. I know this is not worth thousands now being buried for 70, 80 years.
But it does weigh in at 10.5 grams of 18k gold
Would love to know if any of you know who the hallmark is B&M 18K it does have a very tiny bust type head on the back along with a serial #
Could it be a vintage Cartier watch
Thanks for looking
