Not 10 feet from the car the old Etrac gave up this Boluva watch.The watch itself is pretty roached, but the band shows little to no signs of corrosion. It is marked with "kt" hallmarks, but no numbers to indicate how many karats it is. Maybe stainless? Can anyone save me a trip to jewelry?

Thanks!!!

It would be very helpful if you could provide all the "words" on the front and back to help in searching. Also, IMHO - the ""kt" hallmarks" may only apply to the watch band?

@ vpnavy: The KT hallmarks are only on the band itself. The band shows absolutely no signs of corrosion. The clasp, bezel, and other areas of the watch(including the back cover which is marked "stainless") all show signs of corrosion. This was found in riverbed soil that was very corrosive to the modern clad we also found in the same area. Here are some pictures of the back and front as close as i could get. Thanks for all the help everyone!
