The case retains its original crown and pushers. The Rolex C+I "U.S.A. Made" stretch rivet bracelet was sourced with the watch and remains in superb condition, displaying practically no stretch and retaining 12 links.

DIAL & HANDS

This original and early Rolex chronograph dial is in stunning condition, the dial itself has taken on a beautiful warm patina. The "telemeter" is located on the outside of the inner minute track in blue and black text which accents the blued hands of the sub-dials and sweep-seconds hand perfectly. The sub-dials remains exceptionally clean. The radium lume plots all remain intact and have taken on a warm patina, under U.V. light inspection the radium lume shows some very minor degradation. The original radium alpha-hands match the dial and show no degradation under U.V. light inspection.
