- BRACELET: Solid yellow gold president with clasp; crown on clasp remains thick and has not been polished down. 24 links (plus solid end links) which I believe is more than originally provided (included is a receipt for extra links dated 1965). Moderate stretch. Inside of clasp has started to develop patina on the gold.

- DIAL: Excellent silver sunburst pie-pan dial. Rare dagger hands in yellow gold. All lume plots intact. Dark patina that matches perfectly across the plots and hands. 'SWISS' only.
