The case and bracelet have minor scuffs and scratches, but there is no major damage, and it is in good condition. The bracelet shows little "stretch" for its age and is in good condition. The dial has some discoloration and scuffs due to aging, but it is in good condition. The tritium luminous markers show discoloration due to aging. The dial and hands (second hand, hour hand, minute hand) show slight scratches and wear due to aging. Accuracy, as measured by a Timegrapher, is within ±10 seconds, indicating it is running accurately and functioning normally. While antique sports models tend to steal the spotlight, isn’t this antique “Oyster Perpetual Date” a truly understated gem and a remarkable bargain?
