The case back and cover lid are still very smooth with no dedications/presentations, monograms engraved ( looks almost unused); the inner case back is factory stamped  and marked 14 K    serial # 618755.
28mm across, 37mm from lug to lug,
  The acrylic crystal is excellent.    The Silver dial is very striking. It  features gold applied numerals numerals,   gold  hands are also excellent . The sub seconds register is fully detailed but appears darker than normal, we assume the  dial is more than likely refinished !
