2" Diameter. I would say average condition with a few dings. Looks like the "glass" cover has been replaced with a soft plastic one. FAce is in mint condition. All markings in the picture are on the inside on the top flip case. I've included a rough drawing of these markings plus there are additional seals and images stamped. That writing to the left of the "75" is like an underlined infinity sign.
ALSO each link on the 15" chain is stamped 18c
The outside case has a few minor dents and blemishes.
A perhaps interesting feature > To change the hands you pull out a little spring loaded lever on the side of the watch with your nail and then whilst holding it out you turn the winder..
I'm not sure what the little cylindrical thing is at the end of the chain. At the one end it has what looks like a spanner winder of sorts but there is not applicable "nut" on the watch. It looks like it has 9ct on it but it has worn.
If you want a picture of the chain assembly I can post it
Thanks

Same here, the old pockets are out of my area of expertise...
