Yeah, a bit sneaky in the listing. At first it says 14k, and then later it says 14k gold fill. The NOS claim is obviously highly suspect, as are the claims about the dial.
Still, I'm not sure it would have mattered too much to the OP's wife if she had known the full truth; the watch obviously appealed to her. Not sure how you know the price, but hopefully it wasn't too much.
