This almost looks like an industrial tool for sandblasting or machining! Or a type of industrial oven! Or is this a park bench? Newspaper box?

The back is painted chipboard I think. The counter top is just metal. When I first started going here it was a good spot; and a somewhat cool space. The original owners moved on (maybe during COVID, not sure) and the current folks are good people but I do...

highlighting different aspects of the bezel and case design. I really like this watch of yours J.

The rubber ring on the crown can be changed, white, grey etc. But I think I like it as orange.
