The stainless steel "boys size" case is in good condition for its age, and although it does have some scratches, is in pretty good condition considering its age.
All engravings on the case back are accurate.
This was originally a men's watch, but in modern times it would be considered a boys' or ladies' size.

Usually the dials of this model of watch are altered, but this dial is completely original.
The dial is signed (Rolex Oyster Speed King, Precision, Swiss Made).

High grade hand-wound 17 jewel movement in very good condition and fully maintained. Movement is signed (Rolex Precision, 17 Rubies, Swiss Made, Patented Super Balance).
