It is the opinion of the specialist that the "vignette" dial, diamonds and sapphires are original to the watch and not aftermarket.
The watch winds, sets and runs but has not been timed for accuracy. The date sets and progresses correctly.
The crystal shows several moderate scratches that are subtly eye visible. The dial shows no signs of wear at 10X magnification, the signature and chronometer language show are bright and distinct, the diamond numerals are all present and securely set, the hands show no discoloration.
All stones present and securely set in the bezel, the diamonds and sapphires show no signs of wear at 10X magnification. The bezel, case, case back and bracelet show overall minor wear consistent with occasional wear consisting of superficial scratches and scuffs.
