The texture of the 1123 is beautiful; it portrays classical look popular in that era. Under suitable intensity of light, the texture emits that sense to its fullest. 

It is powered by SS1 movement which started in 1996. Unlike the SS1 of the Shanghai 1524 in my earlier post, this one is of slow beat 18000bph.It has a date code of "GE“; "G" is the seventh year from 1966 which is 1972 and  "E" is the month of May.

The case back is engraved with words "全钢“ (all stainless steel),”防震“ (anti-shock), ”Shanghai“, ”上海手表厂“ (Shanghai Watch Factory), ”1123“ is the model number and ”605“ is the design number; there were 1123 in several designs.
