Significant surface wear and minor pitting on the silver-tone plating. Scratches on the crystal and case. Unauthenticated movement (likely needs 377 cell battery).
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay, Poshmark, or Mercari. Best as a 'buy it now' item or as part of a jewelry lot.
Selling Tips
Replace the battery (approx $2-$5) to list it as 'Working' to significantly increase sell-through rate. Use keywords like 'Y2K', 'Minimalist', '90s Style', and 'Daily Wear'. Clean well with a jewelry cloth to improve the shine before photography.
