CASE & BRACELET

The 18K yellow gold case is in incredibly robust and crisp condition, exhibiting no signs of being previously polished with extremely defined chamfers and factory finishing throughout. The case exhibits some signs of previous gentle wear and there is a rosy oxidation forming around the crown guards, which is expected for unpolished cases of this age. The brown and gold bezel insert is in perfect condition, showing no fading or signs of use. The 18K yellow gold Rolex 8386 hidden-clasp 'Super Jubilee' bracelet is era-correct and believed to be original to the watch and dates to 1983. The bracelet retains 24 links that show light stretch and will fit up to a 7 3/4-inch wrist.

DIAL & HANDS

The sunburst brown dial with gold nipple markers is original to the watch and exhibits some honest wear and age that results in spots of firey orange patina and light markings throughout, though only the unique patina is visible to the naked eye. The tritium lume filler markers mostly feature a medium beige patina though some plots feature spots of darker brown and grey, under UV light inspection all the lume plots remain intact though nominal degradation is present throughout. The original tritium yellow gold hands have aged to a lighter creamy patina and exhibit no degradation under UV light inspection. The metallic gold date wheel is original with "open" 6's and 9's.

ACCESSORIES

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