Baylor Watch Appraisal

Baylor Quartz Men's Wristwatch

This is a vintage Baylor Quartz men's wristwatch featuring a rectangular, gold-toned case and a black dial. The watch face is adorned with a single diamond marker at the 12 o'clock position and the 'BAYLOR QUARTZ' brand name printed in white below it. The hour and minute hands are gold-toned and appear to be in a dauphine or similar elegant style. The crystal covering the dial exhibits numerous scratches and scuffs, indicative of significant wear and age. The case itself shows some wear and tarnishing on its gold finish, particularly along the edges and corners. The watch is attached to a matching gold-toned link bracelet, which has a distinct brick-like pattern, with individual rectangular links. The bracelet also shows signs of wear, including scratches and possible fading or loss of the gold plating in areas, revealing a darker base metal underneath in some regions, especially closer to the watch case. One of the unique aspects is the minimalist design of the dial with only one hour marker. The overall style suggests a piece from the late 20th century, likely 1980s or 1990s, when quartz watches were popular for their accuracy and affordability. The watch appears to be in working condition based on the position of the hands, though functionality cannot be confirmed without a closer inspection. Despite the condition issues, the design maintains a classic, understated elegance typical of that era.
