The crystal shows significant and heavy scratching across the entire surface. There is notable wear and fading to the gold-tone plating on the fluted bezel and the center links of the bracelet. The stainless steel portions of the case and bracelet exhibit surface scratches and minor dings consistent with age and use. Accumulation of grime is present between the bracelet links and around the clasp. The watch is not currently running and a plastic crown stop is installed; while the movement may need a battery, its functional condition is not guaranteed.
