21.12.18, Case with surface scratches and small dents to the sides, lugs and case back, black tachymeter bezel is rubbed, scratched, and with small dents to the top edge, later strap and buckle, dial in my opinion is nicely aged, luminous hour markers are slightly faded silvered dials are very slightly discoloured, movement with small staining marks, movement needs cleaning, movement in going order, chronograph is working, but the 30 minute register hand is recording the first minute before the centre chronograph hand has done one minute around the dial, chronograph will need slight adjustment.
