Tudor Pocket Watch

A new guy here, I just signed in, so I don't know your procedures. I would like to ask if anyone is up on Tudor pocket watches. I have one I have not been able to get info about. I bought it back in the 1980's at a pawn shop when gold prices were up and everybody was taking in good old watches and selling them cheap. This watch is gold, I do not remember the karat, but it is solid, not plated. It is a slender little thing, I think it is bubble shaped and thin at the outer edge. You have to take the crystal off to access the works, it does not open at the back. I will get it out tomorrow so I can better describe it. I don't mean to start off with a "teaser", but life is short. Maybe someone knows what it is from the above. Thanks

Thanks for the welcomes!!! I did not make it to the bank today and probably can not tomorrow during working hours. I will ASAP tho. I got caught up in spading up a place to fall plant garlic cloves. Those that make and can pickles will understand. Thanks again.

I did get the watch today, I will describe it as best I can. It is round, being 1 inch and 9/16 wide. The bail is rectangular shaped and is in the 6 o'clock position, the winding stem is at the 12 o'clock position without any lugs or other protection. The bail is stationary, it does not hinge. It measures just over 1 inch and 3/4 from the outside of the bail to the outer edge of the winding stem. The case is gold with no exterior marknings. The face is 1 inch and 5/16 wide and looks like brushed silver. The hour markers are slender gold bars, a single one for each hour except for 12 o'clock, which has a double slender gold bar side by side. Under the 12 o'clock is a flower emblem with the word "tudor" below. Between 6 o'clock and the watch center it says "shock resisting" and it says "swiss" beween the 6 o'clock position and the outer edge of the watch. The hands are gold colored and very slender without decoration. The watch is very slender, from the top of the crystal to the back it measures 1/4 inch. I am not sure if the back removes or not.

Does anyone know anything about this watch? Thanks.
