Hi, I was wondering what the date of my womans jj cocktail watch is and what it might be worth? It also has a Speidel flex band gold, PAT.# 2689450.
The watch has two small diamonds on each side and on the inside is etched sws or 5w5 not sure and 8-6-78 or 98, number inside is 63577. It's a manual wind. The back plate says 14KT and has a crown. The speidel band has two small emeralds on each side and it's gold, Tests as gold and under it tests as platinum. Thanks

Here's a site to help you. Pretty interesting. In the 50's they started a date code that was added to the back - L3 - is 1953. Click on the links on the site. Determining the Date of Bulova Watch
The 'Ra' refers to Radium - used in the 'lume' on the hands and sometimes hour markers. The 10krgp refers to 10 karat rolled gold plate - it just means it's gold plated and not solid gold.
Can't help with the date, though.
Can I be honest? These are not easy to do. Ive done hundreds and I hated doing each one. You can try yourself but I would take to the dealer who sold you the watch, or to a local watchmaker. If you still want to do on your own, here is a link to a Speidel band that does a pretty good job with instructions. Best wishes. http://www.speidel.com/default.cfm/PID=1.24?PID=1.24&inq_key=7851&action=detail&LibID=465
Concord is part of the Movado group. They do not sell replacement parts to just anyone. So if you want an original band you will need to take it to an Authorized Movado/Concord retailer. Or if you wanted to save some money you can take it to a watch repair business that sells and replaces watch bands. Speidel makes some really nice watch bands.
You can try Seiko for the band. That band is pretty common in both Seiko current models and after market brands such is Speidel. There is a 18mm metal band that is almost exact from Bariloche available in some watch repair and accessory stores. You can also check Speidel.
