CASE & BRACELET
The robust case is in excellent condition and has been potentially polished once previously, as the original case dimensions, finishing, and chamfers remain present. The case exhibits honest signs of use, but no notable elements of damage. The bezel insert remains deep black in coloration with minimal signs of use and retains its tritium pearl, which features a nice creamy patina and shows a small surface crack. The case back retains all of its original factory black enamel and exhibits minimal wear. The original Rolex 93160 Oyster bracelet with 592B solid end pieces retains 11 links along with the integrated diver's extension, which exhibit only minor stretch from use. The bracelet will fit up to a 7-inch wrist. The bracelet also comes with two additional links.
DIAL & HANDS
The glossy black dial with white gold surround markers is flawless, showing no damage or age. The tritium lume plots feature a creamy-golden patina with no degradation present under UV light inspection. The original tritium hands match the dial perfectly, under UV light inspection the minute hand exhibits some cracking and remains stable, while the hour and second hands display no degradation.
ACCESSORIES
The watch comes as a complete set with its original inner and outer boxes, Rolex guarantee paper, Rolex Oyster booklet, and Japanese instruction pamphlet. The watch was recently serviced and is keeping time perfectly, backed by a 1-year warranty on accurate timekeeping.
