CASE & BRACELET

The strong case has been very lightly polished in the past and retains thick and symmetrical lugs with light signs of honest use. The smooth stainless steel bezel is unpolished and shows light honest signs of previous use. The case back features a small circular scuff and is in otherwise excellent condition. The original and excellent condition Rolex 7205 Oyster-Rivet bracelet with 57 end pieces is stamped 4/66 and retains 13 links that show no stretch.

DIAL & HANDS

The silver sunburst dial is in wonderful condition, showing very minimal signs of aging and marks on the dial. The tritium lume plots have taken on a handsome golden coloration and exhibit no degradation under U.V. light inspection. The hands are likely early service replacements and match the patina of the dial perfectly and display no degradation under U.V. light inspection.

ACCESSORIES 

None. The watch was recently serviced and is keeping time perfectly, back by a 1-year warranty on accurate timekeeping.
