1969 CCC continental can company given to an employee. Looks very good to me.I'm always suspect of dials, but I believe it's an original but would certainly love any opinions. Also, the crown maybe aftermarket I m not completely sure. I bought it through Grailzee.com and it was authenticated by a watch company in west palm beach, called Bennisson which I really don't know very well. And I really don't know what they mean by authentication. I'll take a picture of the movement later post it. 🍻 Cheers

Greetings
The dial condition cannot be assessed from this blurry picture.
The case is gold filled and the reference number indicates US market watch.
That is not the SN you will find the SN on the movement.
The gold layer case looks worn through on the right upper lug and a spot on the back. Gold filled means there is a thin layer of gold just slightly thicker than gold plated.
The “assessment “ means nothing IMO

So post good focused pictures of dial case lugs and inside Caseback and movement for more accurate info

BTW what did you pay for this?

US-cased gold-filled model. I have little doubt that it's legit, in part because personalized watches with obscure logos are not particularly desirable to most people.

Much better photos. Dial looks fine few spots prob from crystal scratches. Will clean up nicely with polywatch.
Movement looks good SN dates to 69. My concern about gold wear through on case seems to been from reflections case looks intact. Crown original. For 400 you got a nice watch !
