·Came across this and couldn't help chuckling
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Gen...438998?hash=item25b18a93d6:g:kqIAAOSwl9BWGUTf
Case, dial, crown, even crystal are untouchable! How am I supposed to wear it?? Perhaps the seller means the watch is unmolested... 😗
The seller says the case & caseback are solid silver, which got me thinking:
1. how often were these watches of that era made of silver?
2. how do you tell if the case / caseback is silver, based on a bunch of ebay photos? (the caseback says Acier Inoxydable ... hmm 😒) I don't see any marks indicating silver, although some googling told me that these marks weren't consistently done.
Any experience with silver cases / caseback, guys? Thanks!
