Bangle Watch Appraisal

Geneva Platinum Women's Bangle Watch

This is a Geneva Platinum women's bangle watch, featuring a silver-tone metal construction. The watch case is round, approximately 1 inch in diameter, with a unique, textured, organic or 'cobblestone' like bezel design. The watch face is white with black Arabic numerals for hours 1 through 12. The brand name "Geneva" is printed in a script font above the center of the dial, and "PLATINUM JAPAN" is visible in smaller print near the 6 o'clock position. The hands are black, with a sword or dagger shape for the hour and minute hands, and a thin stick for the second hand. The crown is located on the right side of the case. The bangle band is also silver-tone, with a textured, possibly alligator or crocodile skin pattern, or a similar organic, scaly design. It appears to be a solid bangle style, suggesting it might slip on rather than having a traditional clasp. The metal shows signs of wear, including tarnishing and visible scratching consistent with age and use, particularly on the raised elements of the bezel and band. There are no visible major dents or breaks, but the overall patina indicates it is not new. The style suggests it could be from the late 20th century to early 21st century, possibly a fashion watch designed to mimic a more expensive metal like sterling silver.
