Cosmetics: The watch is in used, vintage condition. It shows signs of wear consistent with its age, including scratches and scuffs on the crystal, case, bezel, and bracelet. There is some wear to the gold-tone plating on the bezel and bracelet links. Please review all photos carefully as they are the most accurate representation of the cosmetic condition
