CASE & BRACELET

The case back retains its original green Rolex factory sticker. The original Rolex 78790 Oyster bracelet with 501B end pieces retains 11 links that show virtually no stretch and will fit up to a 7-inch wrist.

DIAL & HANDS

The original glossy black dial with white gold surround markers is in flawless condition, with no age or damage present. The tritium lume plots exhibit no degradation when inspected under UV light with no notable patina present. The original tritium hands match the dial perfectly with no degradation present under UV light inspection.

ACCESSORIES
