Condition Report
The blue dial is in very good condition, having a few specs of surface debris, the hands are in good condition also, the luminous fill is showing some signs of discoloration, the mineral crystal has lots of surface marks and scratches, the steel case also has lots of surface marks and scratches, and a couple of deeper marks on the top edge of the case above the 12 o'clock position.
The calibre 12 movement looks clean and is currently running smoothly, hand setting ok but tight, date function working, the chronograph functions are also operating, the minute register is operational but is not resetting to zero position (30), instead returns to approx 9 minute position. The steel bracelet is in good order but does have signs of stretching as to be expected with an item of this age.
