GTTE940

Design and case

Silver dials are where originality matters most on a watch, so check the photos for even colour, crisp printing, and lume that has aged at the same rate as the hands. The numeral style, "No numerals", sets how formal the dial looks and how quickly the time can be read at a glance. Yellow gold bezels take the first knocks on any watch, so look for dents, chips, and rubbing along the edge, and on a rotating bezel check that it turns cleanly and the insert has not faded.

Yellow gold cases differ in weight and in how they carry scratches and polishing marks, so compare the case photos with the condition grade below.

Yellow gold cases show their history in two places: the surface and the edges. Rounded lugs and blurred bevels suggest the case has been polished more than once, so compare the case photos with the condition grade below.

Yellow gold wears in its own way: metal bracelets stretch and open small gaps between links, while straps show age at the holes and edges, so read the photos of the strap or bracelet with that in mind.

The watch is filed under "Women's watch", which indicates intended size and styling more than who may wear it.

Movement and technical details

Quartz movements ask for different upkeep: mechanical ones typically need a service every five to ten years, while quartz ones need a battery change and an occasional gasket check.

It dates from Unknown, and the year matters because dials, hands, lume and bracelets often changed within a single reference.

Condition and set

Any wear is visible in the photos, and we describe it as plainly as we can. Used (Good) is the grade we assign after inspecting the case, dial, bezel, crystal, and bracelet, and the photos show the wear behind that grade. The set is described as "Original box, original papers". Box and papers document provenance, and a watch with a full set is usually easier to resell.

The reference number GTTE940 separates this version from other variants of the model, down to dial, bezel and bracelet details, so match it against the photos before you buy.
