sorry I wasn't able to edit fast enough, on my original post, I was wondering where people think values are headed for any type of piece like this, its way too small for a man to wear, great fit for a women, but just a beautiful design,from the Depression era.

Sharp watch. I'm a sucker for these art deco styles, but as you say they're just too small to be worn these days by men (at least by me).

From what I've seen values vary wildly depending on desirability and case (obviously solid gold watches fetch more).

Look at page 830 in the 2012 watch guide. If your watch is gold it is worth a lot of money.
It looks like the Hamilton SPUR from about 1929. There were some swiss owners who made a reproduction in 1992. They made 992 watches in 18k solid gold.

There was one of these Spur models at the WWT show in Florida last year priced at $5000.00. I prefer larger-sized watches but consider this watch to possibly be a "holy grail" Hamilton.

small or large, I wear a 9oz massive breitling and I would rent this bad boy for $100.00 for one day. It is impressive. It is a collectable not just a watch, a true investment item. Nice watch William.

You have some great ones William, such watches are a worthwhile investment and only going up in value, there really is no limit to where these and all top condition, rare examples are going.

To answer your question with a question, how high is up?

Congratulations!

Don
