[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 112936, member: 360"]What you have here is a lovely ladies' 14kt gold pocketwatch, from about 1890-1910. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the case has been both [B]engine-turned[/B] and [B]chased[/B]...? The cuvette (dust cover) will open exactly the same way as the caseback. Use a flathead screwdriver or other similar object (knife-blade, etc) to find the pry-point in the case - insert the blade and pop the case open. Sometimes you can just use your fingernail, but I'm not sure how easy that'll be on a watch of this size.[/QUOTE]
