There are signs of use and aging on the case, bracelet, bezel, crystal, and dial. These include scratches and nicks, small dings, and patina on the date wheel. We have left it unpolished since owning it, but it likely was polished in the past during its 48 years of existence. It has been recently externally deep-cleaned. \u003cstrong\u003ePlease view all photos carefully to judge the condition.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDIAL: Minor blemishes on the dial if you look for them.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHANDS: Slightly imperfect from aging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLASP: \u003c\/strong\u003eAt some point, the clasp had the watch case serial number engraved on it.
