Watch Ya Wearing

The last of my older watches that I haven't had on in years.. Seamaster 14k gold. The only strictly dress watch I have. Tiny, like the Constellation. Last time I pulled this one out ,7-8 years ago, it was gaining a couple of hours a day for about 2-3 days, then settled back down to normal. Didn't do it this time. Maybe the watch pixies visited.

The numerals appear to be Art Nouveau, which would tend to date the watch to the years before WWI.
I think you are pretty much on the money. I bought it sometime late '90s, maybe very early 2000s. My recollection is that it was from early 1900s.
 
One of my recent acquisitions, a Vostok (020711) on a cheap OD NATO strap.

I love the blue-to-green gradient color of the dial; now I need to look for a date-wheel (which is centered better than the picture shows) that isn't red-on-white. The bezel was pretty loose when I got the watch, but a quick adjustment (guided by a YT video helpfully posted by a B&B member) got it to just the right friction...which is good, because there are no clicks. Lume is mediocre at best, but that's not why I bought it and I have to say, it keeps time incredibly well!
