This is a genuine 9ct marked watch. The bracelet has no markings, but was tested as 9ct by the jeweller who sold it to me. He did however neglect to tell me that the ladder catch and the safety chain is not gold. It is Swiss made Lauris 17 Jewels Incabloc. It goes, but I cannot hear it tick and the winding mechanism is definitely working...It appears that all the marcasites are intact.
