Watch Description

The watch appears to be a "His Excellency" model, SS variant. There are a few others in the database. The HE must have been an extremely popular model, based on the number in the database.  My watch has a faceted crystal. Is that what it would have had originally, or is it a replacement?

Thanks,  TQ

to answer the question from the OP.

the GS CMX326-36 is indeed a faceted crystal.
