Im sure the serials will be in range as its an original case, correct degrading of the original pvd which does not happen the same way on RE PVD cases...

No chance for the lume plots to drop off as they have degraded to show the white lines in many places. Im also loving how many polishes the plexiglass must have had over the years, as it looks to be almost domed, no edges visible, this watch has had a proper life on wrist, which is great as the original owner obviosuly loved it as much as i love mine!

The minute hand appears non original, hour hand seems correct though which is strange as the patina matches (lume isn't as wide or quite as long as original hand) but that is nit picking...If condition doesn't put you off then this is a genuine PVD Monaco as D says nicely patina'd, could be worn whilst taking on all manner of heavy jobs, without concern for the odd ding...
