Willow Bay Watch Appraisal

Willow Bay Women's Analog Quartz Watch

This is a pre-owned women's analog quartz wristwatch from the brand Willow Bay. The watch features a relatively small, round silver-tone metal case with a white dial. The dial includes Arabic numerals at the 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions, with small dot markers for the remaining hours. The brand name 'Willow Bay' is printed in black script below the 12 o'clock marker. Three gold-tone hands (hour, minute, and second) are visible on the dial. The watch has a simple, non-ornate metal bezel. A small crown, likely for setting the time, is visible on the right side of the watch case, and it appears to be gold-toned. The watch is attached to a two-tone metal bracelet, combining silver-tone and gold-tone elements. The bracelet features a somewhat unusual link design, with alternating larger, rounded silver-tone links that appear to embrace smaller, more integrated gold-tone links, creating a decorative, almost figural or interlocking motif. This design adds a unique aesthetic to the piece, moving beyond a standard link bracelet. The overall condition shows signs of wear consistent with use. There is noticeable tarnishing and discoloration on both the silver-tone and gold-tone components of the bracelet, suggesting either plating loss or accumulation of grime. Some scratches may be present on the metal surfaces, although precise details are difficult to discern from the image alone. The crystal appears intact but may have minor surface wear. The watch is likely from the late 20th or early 21st century, falling into the contemporary casual or fashion watch style period. No specific manufacturing marks other than the brand name are clearly visible in the provided image.
