- Notes on the WATCH: We acquired this item in a box together with other watches. They seem to have been somebody's halted customization or restoration project because they were disassembled. The dials, hands, crown, movements & cases were taken apart. Parts were jumbled, but they were all there. It was a matter of putting the correct parts together & this is the result!
- Notes on the DIAL: The green enamel finish of the twin-seahorse emblem has faded, some painted white letters have slightly faded, paint bubble below G of "Green Horse"
