Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Correct logo font and spacing on dial; date window alignment is accurate for this movement; 'MK' etching on the crown; etched case back with model number MK5491 and serial number.
Flaws to Note
Significant surface scratches on the metal (consistent with daily wear), noticeable tarnish/discoloration on the finish near the lugs, and currently non-operational (needs battery). No original box or extra links included.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Poshmark, Mercari, and eBay are best for this brand. Local sales via Facebook Marketplace are also effective for low-cost watches to avoid shipping fees.
Selling Tips
Replace the battery (approx. $5-10) before listing to prove it works; this can double the sale price. Use a Cape Cod polishing cloth to buff out surface scratches. In your listing, specify the inner circumference (wrist size) since extra links are missing.
