Welcome to Ws wyn94!Hello! I am new to the true crime/ websleuthing community. This case caught my interest a few days ago and I've been obsessively researching it since.
None of the posts I've found so far mention the model of the watch (though I may have missed it) just the brand. It took a while but I think I have it identified as a Leading Lady based on the NamUs photo. I found a few of different years listed for this particular version: 1966 - 1968. I assume they confirmed the year it was made through the date code on the back. I know this isn't particularly important information, but I couldn't let it go and I figured I would put it here in case anyone else wanted to know.
And as far as the ring, the thing I notice the most about it is how horribly beat up it is. Makes me think it is definitely an heirloom since it is unlikely that a girl of such a young age would have done that much damage to her ring already unless it was gifted to her as a child which might also explain why it was on her pinky.
And thank you everyone to everyone who has posted their findings on this thread. I'm very glad to know that so many people are working to identify her.
Interesting post, if the watch turns out to be a "leading lady" it would make me wonder if the watch was a gift to an aspiring actress off to NY to find fame and fortune, imo, speculation.
