Case & Bracelet
Excellent and unpolished case that shows some wear from use. The red and blue bakelite bezel is also in excellent condition. There are several spots of blistering where the paint is separating from the plastic but there are no major cracks. The casebook is engraved “Nelson Parker 1960” . The caseback has not been polished and still has the very rare to see “oyster case” still legible on the caseback.
Excellent swiss rivet bracelet with 12 links and 80 end links. The bracelet shows light stretch from age.

The hour and minute hand are relumed and glow but quickly drop off as well. The 24 hour hand and second hand have not been relumed.
