Watch does work, but I would not recommend daily use without a jeweler servicing it first. I do not believe that the band is either original or anything special. Watch has been serviced previously and has the jewelers mark inside. It is inscribes on the inside "Xmas 16" which I would assume is 1916. The outside of the back is inscribed "Freeda". I doubt that the box it is in is original either. 20 year warranty is indicative of a gold filled case. Watch case does show fair amount of use. See photos for detail and condition.
