Condition report:
The items are in varied, used condition throughout. Significant wear, cracking, and peeling is visible on several leather and faux-leather straps, particularly on the Lorus and cord-strap examples (photo 3). Surface scratching is present on many of the metal cases and crystals, consistent with age and use. The rectangular Sekonda watch shows visible wear to the gold plating on the lugs (photo 4). One small square-faced watch on a cord strap has a heavily discoloured and patinated dial (photo 3). Mechanical and electronic working order is unknown; quartz models may require battery replacement.
