got this for 50 cents was not working
had a friend clean it and he got it working
diamonds tested to be real
at that point i put it away until i can get a jeweler to look at it
the movement is by perla water 17 jewel with jeweled escapement
it says Krementz pat aug 1930 on the watch band no other markings

The case should be marked if it's gold. On the back case or in between the lugs.

That's a nice art deco watch. The other stones appear dark blue? Sapphires probably.

That looks like a great piece to me.

That is a very unusual Mark. It could mean it's .833 platinum or 20 karat gold plated. Good luck

I agree which is why I didn't comment on it. I've never seen or heard of that mark before. There is a "similar" watch with a lessor 15 jewel movement by the same maker that sold on eBay for $431 but it has a jeweled crown and it has an 18k Belais case. 18K White Gold 1920's Art Deco Belais Ladies Watch Perla Movement Working | eBay
