I can't make out the complete serial number, but the first two digits appear to be 29, in which case the watch is well before the DON to DNN transition, as you are probably well aware. I'm guessing that it's 2911, so why don't you go ahead and bring up the color of the dial. 🙄

It’s not possible to judge condition from your photos.
What I would say is that it appears correct and original, right bezel, right dial, right bracelet and it looks like it could be nice example with a sharp case, generally undamaged and the dial may have a hint of brown. But, better photos are needed from different angles to confirm whether it’s a nice example or a very nice example and there’s a subtle yet huge different between the two

Hi Enchanted,
Thank you for your response—I really appreciate it. I completely understand your perspective, and to be honest, my first post probably didn’t come across the best. It might have seemed like I had a passion for watches, but in reality, I’m just trying to figure out what I have and learn enough to avoid being taken advantage of when selling it. Looking back, I should’ve reworded parts of it, like removing “shared,” because that’s not really my situation.

Your collection clearly means a lot to you, and I don’t think your watches would ever end up in a situation like this one. For context, my mom gave me this watch, but it wasn’t sentimental to her, and she couldn’t even remember if she got it at a garage sale or as a company gift. She was actually about to throw it out, and I only kept it because I recognized the name and thought it might have some value. At least I saved it from the landfill. 😀

Right now, I’m in a situation where the money from selling this could really help me as I’m starting a new business. I'm concerned that if I just hold onto it, it may get lost, damaged, etc. so I figured learning more about it here would be the best way to go.

Thanks again to everyone who’s taken the time to share input—it’s been so helpful. I’ll try to get better pictures up soon and would still love to hear your thoughts on whether this is a typical example or if anything makes it stand out. I really appreciate your patience with someone who’s new to this world.
