1. Acquired from a watch store as a refurbished used item about 1.3 years ago. 2. The bracelet was replaced with one from my Credor collection because the colors matched. 3. I think it's well-put-together and of good quality overall. 4. The etching on the case back is faintly visible, and the seahorse mark, etc., can be read. There are also some minor dents and scratches from use.
