'bout as basic as they come...

The watch it totally sterile, no markings on either the dial or the case back. It's a Post about a watch containing a battery or Quartz, a classic-sized 34.5mm X 40mm across the lugs. It came on a nice rubber strap:

Which was, alas, way too short for me 21.3cm wrist.. I am not happy! Smiley But tha's OK, 'cause it works tolerable well on the NATO, for me. And, yes, it was raining a bit when I took the Post contains Picture(s)s.. Smiley

..with a cool 'tub type' case, 7.8mm thick.

All in all, a great li'l watch. And my pal sent along some gourmet Swedish chocolate, and other delicious groceries. What a great jule gift! Thanks, Magnus!

The li'l watch is still going stong, and is on the third battery. The strap is one of the marvelous ~ $2 nylon tropics from Otto Frei.
