Story about a vintage Anne Klein watch sold at estate auction - is it 2 tone or a worn surface?

There are changes to estate auctions these days, put a minimum bid and you might end up winning the thing for $5.00 to $10.00 This instance was for a vintage watch, something I collect as well, and enjoy wearing, especially the sterling silver ones from the 1980-90s If the watch is not working, I replace the inside with something else, picture, stone, etc.

In this case, the watch was called a 2 tone style in the description, nothing unusual in that, but the watch looked worn where each metal components was 2 colors, sort of the gold plate worn off the silver metal base Usually a 2 tone metal item has a mix of gold and silver components, either all silver or all gold It was a used water resistant watch, so perhaps roughly handled because of that.

Anyway, there was an issue with how to pay my win for $10.00 and in the meantime I decided to do some comparisons with other Anne Klein watches from the same period and in the same style The another Anne Klein sterling silver watch from Ebay, is impossible to open, the back has been glued shut, no way to put a new battery in it and has now become a bracelet, since it is not worth shipping back. .
