forgotten in drawer. \u00a0I knew that going in, but boy, oh, boy, did it arrive in great shape.<\/p>\n<p>The dial is simply pristine and has a quad contrasting engraved pattern. \u00a0Depending upon the angle upon which you view the dial, the sectors change from white to grey. \u00a0The glass crystal is original as well. \u00a0The domed shape adds another facet to the viewing of the dial.<\/p>\n<p>The case number is 5742 and it is featured in the 1955 catalog. \u00a0The case is 10k gold filled.<\/p>\n<p>The watch uses the 19 jewel, 681 movement, which from the factory was
