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.
OVERALL CONDITION: Very good, considering its age
CASE: Good, with surface scratches. The watch has been professionally polished in the past. The hallmarks are visible with a loupe. The inside caseback is engraved with the serial number and 1803. Some tool marks visible from the removal of bracelet on the back of the lugs
DIAL: Nice, clean, and original. The Tritium lume plots on the dial and hands react briefly to UV light. There is some loss of colour near the edges of the date and day aperture. The Qaboos print in red is crisp and impressive.
