    For general information on the MKll watches:
    There was on, maybe still on ebay, it had gold tone case, oribinal box leather strap. The case back open movement looked good....
    Here is the kicker! Lighting stunk, but I noticed around the crystal & the case back the fabulous goo!
    This watch has been in storage a very long, long time & most likely never been serviced.
    In that time frame the rubber compound will liquify back to a gooey mess. The same compound must have been used in Bell & Howell 8mm projectors as they turned to a gooo mess also.
    Anyway, if you buy a MKll be carefull as that stuff is nasty on clothing... so don't blame the party that sells you the watch. Keep it in a cool place & have it serviced.
    I bought one some 28 years ago, put it on my wrist & it was a mess.
    So I pass it on to be prepared if you buy one that has been in storage for years!
    Keep them wound & ticking!
