The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.
The case is in good condition with few light scratches. The case has been lightly polished. The numbers are crisp between the lugs. The back of the lugs show evidence of the bracelet and have some scratches. There is a clean engraving to the back of the lug at 5 o'clock, likely from the retailer Joyeria Ricciardi. The case back is in good condition with scratches. The inside of the case back is stamped "1501," and "II.71" indicating its production in the second quarter of 1971. The dial and hands are in good condition and appear to be original. The luminous plots at the hour markers have darkened with age. The luminous material in the hands has darkened as well and even more so. The hands have developed patina. The dial has yellow spots next to the 6 o'clock hour marker and black spots next to the 9 o'clock hour marker. The end links are stamped "357" and the bracelet "7832, 19." The bracelet is marked "4, 72" indicating its production in 1972. This purchase date is marked as June 6, 1973 on the guarantee, so this appears to be the correct bracelet. The bracelet is in good condition with few light scratches. The clasp is engraved "A B C." The date changes as the hand passes midnight. The movement is in working order at the time of cataloging, consistent with the age of the watch. The movement has not been tested for accuracy. A service is recommended given the age of the watch.
