The unpolished 18K yellow gold case is superb, displaying strong factory finishing and almost no wear from use. The 18K yellow gold bezel remains unpolished as well and shows no wear from use. The bezel insert remains deep black in coloration, showing no wear and retains its tritium pearl at the 12 o'clock position which has aged to a rich caramel coloration. The original case back sticker is still affixed to the caseback. The 18K yellow gold Rolex 7206 Oyster rivet bracelet with 45 B end pieces remains in excellent condition exhibiting little wear and only slight stretch from use.
