The excellent case is believed to remain unpolished, exhibiting strong factory finishing and thick lugs that show honest wear from use. The white gold fluted bezel remains in excellent condition showing very little wear from use. The Rolex rolled-link Jubilee bracelet with 55 end pieces was sourced with the watch and is in excellent condition for its age showing medium stretch from use.

DIAL & HANDS

The original pie-pan grey dial has taken on a wonderful "ghost" patina, the dial itself has faded to a pale grey coloration that is similar to the color of the text which creates the sought after ghost effect. The dial exhibits some degradation towards the bottom of the dial. The tritium lume plots have aged to a wonderful yellow coloration which contrasts off the dial nicely and show no degradation under U.V. light inspection. The original tritium hands match the dial perfectly and show no degradation under U.V. light inspection.

None. Watch is running at spec, previous service history is unknown.
