Watch Description

Just purchased this one as seen in the original clamshell; It was described as untested for parts or repair. I took it out of the box, spun the crown one revolution and it started running and keeps perfect time.

The linebook description is spot on. Face goes from brown at edges to gold in the center. Listed as "adjustable bracelet". JB bracelet is scissor center with 3 removable link on each side and sure looks like a match to the ad.

I haven't opened it as I didn't want to be the one who inflicted the first scratch or scrape in the pockets. Watch doesn't appear to have ever been worn.

That's a nice looking design; 12286 looks correct.
