2nd hand shop find
Saw this watch last week in a shop and went back for a closer look today.
What do you think?

Is it yellow gold? Hard to tell because of the lighting. Would need more info about the watch, and the price, but from the photos that case looks as if it's been way over-polished. Those lugs are so thin.

Looks polished to oblivion--original shape and fluting gone.

Rivet bracelets do not hold up especially well over time

$180,000? Seems a bit overpriced

Bracelet was flimsy, and it has seen better days. Yes, that is correct. I think whomever who that watch, wore it and wore it. Hope he enjoyed it. Not sure it can come back from where it's at now. Thanks all, just thought I'd post as it was an interesting piece. Cheers!
