Diamonds

Does anyone have any idea what this watch could be?? I buy it as scrap gold, it is completely cover with hundreds of real diamonds and for my surprise its working. I take it to my watchmakers to have it check, they completely take apart all the movement and take care of the watch. Next week they call me to tell me that I can pick up the watch, when I was there, they told me that this watch is from 1930-1960 and that at that time this was a very expensive watch, in my opinion it is still a very expensive watch, what you think???, Im thinking in sell this watch to Gray & Sons jewelry in Florida, but first I would like an opinion, if anyone know.

Let me give you a rather uneducated guess. For years I prowled around the Jewelry Mart in LA. There were numerous "jewelry" pieces that just happened to be watches. Sort of what I was asserting in another thread (34mm watches...), women's "watches" used to be almost entirely crap from the perspective of a watch.
Anyway, I saw numerous watch faces exactly like yours shown above. I'd bet it's a cheapo movement with no significance in an ornate bracelet setting. In other words, zero value as a watch.
