CASE & BRACELET

The impressive case retains full and symmetrical lugs that show gentle wear and minimal evidence of previous polishing. The smooth stainless steel bezel exhibits light signs of use and is in excellent overall condition. The inside of the case back is double stamped, featuring a crossed out reference 6285 and the correct reference 6284, this was common to see in this era. The watch was sourced on a Rolex "U.S.A. Made" stretch-rivet link Oyster bracelet which retains 10 links that show nominal stretch and will fit up to a 6 1/2-inch wrist. Additional links can be provided upon request.

DIAL & HANDS

The intricate and matte white "OCC" Explorer dial with recessed rose gold markers and numerals is beautifully preserved and very attractive. The dial itself shows light age, which is appropriate, but has also taken on a charming warmth throughout and retains all of its applied accents and text in excellent condition. The radium lume plots all remain intact, though they show minor degradation throughout when inspected under UV light. The alpha hands and blue steel sweep-seconds hand are in remarkable condition with minimal oxidation present, under UV light inspection the hour hand does show some lume loss, and the minute hands exhibit no degradation.

ACCESSORIES

None. The watch is keeping time perfectly, but the service history is unknown. A movement service can be provided upon request.
