Preston Women's Silver-Tone Rhinestone Heart Bracelet Watch

The item is a women's fashion wristwatch, likely from the late 20th to early 21st century. It features a silver-tone metal construction, possibly stainless steel or a plated base metal, given the visible wear. The watch face is oval-shaped with a light, possibly pinkish or mother-of-pearl, dial. The bezel surrounding the watch face is embellished with a single row of small, clear stones, which appear to be rhinestones or cubic zirconia, adding a decorative sparkle. The hour markers are minimalist, with '12' and '6' indicated by numerals, and other hours marked by simple lines or small points. The hands are slender and dark, providing contrast against the light dial. The most distinctive feature of the watch is its integrated link bracelet. The two links directly extending from the watch case on either side are wide and feature an openwork design with interlocking heart motifs, further accented by small, clear stones embedded within some of the hearts. Beyond these decorative links, the bracelet transitions to standard, narrower links, forming the remainder of the strap. The metal shows signs of wear, particularly on the edges and raised areas of the links, indicating usage and possibly some plating loss if it's not solid stainless steel. The overall impression is that of a decorative, feminine accessory designed for everyday wear or as a casual dress watch. There are no readily visible manufacturer's marks or signatures in the provided image beyond what appears to be a brand name 'Preston' on the dial.
