Condition

The watch is in overall excellent condition. The steel case has a number of surface marks and light scratches, but retains good definition. The case back also shows light scratches and features the original, well-defined engraving. The dial is near-mint, with crisp printing and very clean hands. The watch is fitted with a black alligator strap in excellent condition, fitted with a steel-plated buckle that shows some wear. Comes complete with box, guarantee booklet, and corrector.

Please Note: Due to CITES considerations, if the watch is to be shipped outside of the USA, the exotic skin strap will have to be removed.
