Case diameter: approximately 1 1/4 inches (32mm) excluding crown; total length: approximately 7 1/2 inches. The watch shows significant aesthetic wear. Large areas of the gold electroplating have worn away to reveal the gray base metal on the bracelet links (photo 5), clasp (photo 4), and the edges and high points of the bezel (photo 8). There are scattered surface scratches and scuffs across the crystal and case (photo 2). The case back shows heavy surface scratching (photo 3). The dial appears to be in good condition. The watch is currently not running and is sold as needing a battery; functionality is not guaranteed.
