🔍 CONDITION

This is an authentic-looking vintage example displaying natural signs of age and previous use. The stainless-steel case and case back show surface marks and scratches appropriate for a watch of this period.

The grey dial has developed visible vintage patina, particularly to the luminous hour markers and hands. This aged appearance gives the watch considerable period character and should not be represented as a new or refinished dial without further inspection.

The case-back engravings remain clearly visible, including K4457 / 4219 and the West End Watch Co. automatic markings.

NO BOX NO PAPER
