I know I come up with some bad pictures from for sale listings......and here is another.
Can anyone give any info of this watch from the one bad picture?

I can't even see what it written on the dial. Could it be "Quartz"?

'Nuff said.

Seller text me a couple more, bad, pics. But the back is a screw back. 10k gold filled. The dial looks like a spider web and told that the bottom scrip is "Automatic"

Does it look like it is missing a bezel of some kind?

Stepped bezel looks fine, I'd be more concerned with what looks like rust on the retainer ring on the back and severe wear-through on the lugs.

Unless you are buying to for parts I'd pass.

Case is missing the bezel. The wear through on the lugs could be a reflection of the camera. Pictures are so poor, I can't tell for sure.

I have a watch with the same case and a different dial:





I'd recommend a pass on that one. You can do much better.

I have passed on it, but just thinking about the bezel and why it would be missing. Would it have been solid gold?
BTY, it was $200 for this and an old 1930 or 1940's Square Hamilton with sub dial.

It's a gold filled case housing a 19AS automatic with a radiating guilloché pattern that's fairly common for the era. Nothing spectacular, and a parts watch at best as mentioned above.
