Description:

Geneva 17J ladies' wrist watch, vintage mechanical manual-wind movement, gold-toned metal dial with a vertical line brushed finish and bold black Arabic style numbers has a few small specks of discoloration, slender black steel baton style hands with pointed tips, distinctive yellow base metal (YBM), white base metal (WBM), stainless steel (SS) & semi-opaque brown Lucite cuff-style case & band, large oval top plate has a smooth polish WBM border which supports the YBM round watch housing surrounded by a border of brown Lucite that has striations to appear like wood and finished with half-circle WBM panels at 12 & 6 o'clock, watch housing is a smooth polish slightly raised round bezel supporting a flat-topped glass crystal and is a cylinder down to the dial.

Case is showing moderate wear overall with some discoloration to the base metal in places along with a small chip to the Lucite at 3 o'clock, additionally along the left hand side of the Lucite section is what appears to be a thin layer of clear adhesive, possibly an amateur attempt to secure the Lucite section if it had become loose and the adhesive set before it could be contained, attached to the frame of the watch housing are clips to connect to the simple smooth polish WBM cuff style band, band is showing normal wear overall as well with some spots of brass showing near the clips and on the interior, watch & band measure approx. 32mm wide x 43mm tall x 13mm thick (crystal included) at the watch section with overall dimensions of approx. 32mm wide x 57mm (cuff height) x 55mm (crystal to back of the cuff), the total wearable length of the watch is approx. 140mm. If desired, the cuff band could be removed and the watch would support bands that could also be used with wire-lug watches, however the cuff band would likely be warped or destroyed in the process.

This is a fun and eye-catching vintage mechanical movement watch from the 1970s, running strong and still attractive even with the cosmetic flaws, in very good overall condition!
