MY TAKE ON IT
The thick and even 18k yellow gold case, though lightly polished in the past, displays very sharp bevels, a warm rosy patina and only light wear from use. The blue bezel insert is in great condition, showing only light wear from use as well.
The dial is excellent with only very light wear. The lume has aged gracefully to a warm sandy hue while the hands have aged slightly lighter. Due to the natural aging process, the tritium dial appears purple when viewed from certain angles, adding to its unique charm.
The 12-link 18k yellow gold Oyster bracelet is in excellent condition, showing no perceivable stretch. The clasp bears a 1993 date code.
an absolutely stunning timepiece that captivates with its allure.

Rest assured, the watch has undergone careful testings and inspections together with my independent watchmaker in Basel. As a result of that and for your peace of mind, I do offer a one-year warranty on the mechanical function of the watch, starting from the day of purchase. I do not guarantee the waterproof nature of any watch, unless expressly made in writing. Therefore, our warranty will not cover any damage done to the case and/or movement by water or moisture entering the watch. The warranty does not apply to accidental damage or mishandling of your watch and does not extend to the bracelet, case parts (including pushers, winding stem, crown and bezel), watch glass, dial and hands. If you wish for a complete service, precise revision, or any further touch-ups, I can provide these services in consultation with you at additional costs.
