08.12.20 Chrome surfaces are rubbed in parts, case sides with opening tool cut marks in parts, case with small pitting marks, lugs with small dents, case with surface scratches, strap and buckle are worn, dial has discoloured and faded in parts but in my opinion nicely aged, hands are discoloured, hand setting correctly and winding smoothly, chronograph is working but the centre chronograph hand is not returning to the 12 o'clock position when re-setting, movement needs cleaning, in going order.
