Key Features
Mother-of-pearl dial is a desirable feature; antiqued brass finish fits current 'vintage-inspired' fashion trends; adjustable chain link style.
Authenticity Indicators
Mass-produced costume jewelry construction; lack of branding on dial suggests low-to-mid-tier fashion accessory; Medium confidence for brandless origin.
Flaws to Note
Significant metal wear/tarnish; untested movement; needs battery; small size may only fit petite wrists.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Depop, Mercari, or Etsy (if listed as a supply or vintage item). Small items like this do well on Depop due to the Gen-Z interest in unique analog watches.
Selling Tips
Replace the battery (377/SR626SW usually) to ensure it works, as 'tested/working' triples the sell-through rate. Use keywords like 'Antique Style', 'Cottagecore', 'Shabby Chic', and 'Mother of Pearl' in the title. Photograph against a dark velvet or wood background to highlight the iridescence of the dial.
