Water Resist Watch Appraisal

Q&Q Quartz Water Resist Analog Watch

The item is an analog wristwatch, likely designed for a female wearer due to its size and delicate presentation, manufactured by Q&Q Quartz. It features a rectangular, silver-toned metal case with rounded corners, encompassing a white or off-white dial. The dial includes minimalist gold-toned hour markers and hands; specifically, there are baton markers at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock, with smaller lines for the intervening hours. The brand name "Q&Q" is prominently displayed below 12 o'clock, and "Quartz" is visible beneath that, confirming its movement type. "Water Resist" is labeled above 6 o'clock. A gold-toned crown for setting the time is visible on the right side of the watch case, indicating a two-tone aesthetic with the gold and silver metals. The watch is attached to a flexible, silver-toned metal link bracelet. The bracelet is constructed with individual, small rectangular links that appear to be hinged together, giving it a somewhat articulated and decorative appearance. Each link features a small, raised circular detail in the center. The clasp mechanism is not clearly visible but appears to be a fold-over or box clasp type. The overall condition shows signs of moderate wear, consistent with a used timepiece. There might be minor scratching or dulling on the metal surfaces of both the case and the bracelet, and some patina could be present, particularly on the gold-toned elements. The style suggests an estimated age from the late 20th century, possibly 1980s or 1990s, characterized by the squared-off case and integrated link bracelet design. The craftsmanship appears to be standard for an affordable quartz watch from this era, focusing on functionality and a generally appealing aesthetic rather than high-end horological features.
