Good Condition. Dial is original but has been refinished at some point. Gently Worn for 70 year + watch. Rolex manual wind movement keeps accurate time within +/- 1 -2 minutes per day. No signs of case being overly polished. Reference number and serial number between the lugs are present and clearly legible.

Please Note: While this watch was waterproof rated when originally produced, gaskets and seals wear out over time. Consequently, we do not guarantee that this watch retains its original waterproof rating. It would be best to have a watchmaker check all the gaskets and seals before subjecting it to water or high humidity conditions.
