In great vintage condition. Light wear consistent with age. Dial has warm even patina. Crystal has a few light scuffs towards the center. Aftermarket strap is new and is good for daily use. Case appears to have initials scratched on the back, this must have been done by the previous owner by hand, not professionally engraved. See photos for details - they are part of the description. Overall a very nice piece that is ready to wear and enjoy.
