Condition report:
The collection is in overall mixed condition consistent with age and use. Visible defects include extensive scratches to crystals and cases throughout. There is varying degrees of plating loss and brassing to many of the gold-tone cases and bracelets. One St. Maurienne dial shows heavy degradation and peeling. Several watches are missing straps or have damaged spring bars. All items are sold as untested for timekeeping and functional status. Quartz examples likely require new batteries; mechanical movements may require professional servicing.
