On my wrist today a cheap japanese watch ? which in style is very similiar to a Rolex explorer(not the explorer 2)38 mm wide( including set stem) 9 mm thick 45mm lug end to end Black face( 30 mm) with goldtone hashmarks for  minutes/ seconds Goldtone numerals at 12 '6 and 9  Goldtone triangles at 1, 2, (date window at 3) 4,  5, 7, 8, 10 &11 with lume dots behind. QUARTZ above the 6 and( Japan 6 Movt)  around it  Hands are sword second hand is a very thin and rapierlike . The Bracelet is folded steel the center section  ( the bracelet has 3 sections left to right) is lined into 3 sections and has the two outer in Goldtone clasp is single locking.The watch weighs a little less than 2 oz measured on my old postal scale. I did not buy this one.It was inherited from my father who inherited it from my mothers father. It takes a 377 battery and bears no brand name on the outside(sterile?)Bezel is goldtone, case is brass with silvertone plating .An extremely inexpensive watch( I hope my Grandfather did not pay much for it or got it as a freeebie from Haband) that shows well. :D
