Condition report:
The collection shows moderate to heavy signs of previous wear throughout. The square silver-tone digital watch exhibits significant surface scratching to the crystal and metal casing (photo 5). The gunmetal-tone ana-digit watch shows scuffs and wear to the bezel and case edges (photo 4). The OVO talking watch has visible surface scratches to the crystal and bracelet consistent with regular use (photo 3). The black plastic face of the LED watch displays heavy surface scratching (photo 2). All four watches are currently non-functional and appear to require replacement batteries; the internal movements have not been tested.
