CASE & BRACELET

The strong and thick case is believed to have been professionally polished in the past to display factory-like dimensions, angles, and chamfers. The case exhibits light signs of use. The black bezel insert is a later OEM Rolex service insert with a luminova pearl and remains deep black with almost no signs of previous use. The original Rolex 93150 Oyster bracelet with 580 end pieces is in excellent condition and retains 11 links that show almost no stretch from use.

DIAL & HANDS

The original matte black Mk. II dial is in exceptional original condition, displaying no damage, only minimal age, and remaining very clean throughout. The tritium lume plots have aged to a lovely creamy coloration and show no degradation under UV light inspection. The original tritium hands have aged a shade darker than the dial and, match the dial nicely overall, under UV light inspection the hour and minute hands exhibit some minor superficial cracking and remain stable. The metallic date wheel is original with "open" 6's and 9's.

ACCESSORIES

None. The watch was recently serviced and is keeping time perfectly, backed by a 1-year warranty on accurate timekeeping.
