Looks like a gen quartz model in AWFUL condition. Clasp has been polished to mirror finish, etc.

You can tell it's a quartz from the large "box" beside the datewheel. The "box" is small on the Professional model. I only wonder about the seconds hand tip which should be bright red. Maybe it's just the picture?

That and a non-quartz has four lines of text to the quartz's three.

hey hey now, the SMP quartz is my daily beater... have not had a single problem with it in the ten years i've owned it, and i am extremely rough with it. Plus the time is always right. It does not have quickset date but does have quick hour, so once every month or two you have to scroll the hours to advanced the day. It's nice for traveling to differant time zones though.

That one is pretty beat up but you can get the band like new in and hour, there is even a post around here. Also raymond lee jeweler (something like that) on ebay has bezel inserts that are spot on and about $25.00 shipped. Second hand should be red, but this looks as if its pretty old, mine is fading pretty bad... so if he had it serviced recently they may have just taken the red off (does not look good at all though).
