Gladly the case isn't mirror polished, it looks like it's never seen a polishing cloth. The dial and hands are superb, I'd say NOS-like. Love the driving tip, I'll remember that come the summer, when the roof goes down!!!!!

: As long as the case isn't polished to a mirror finish (which we've
: seen a few times on these), and there is no water damage, I
: think I can live with any amount of scratches on these - the
: dial's the star. I have an NOS never-mounted blue CdG dial in
: case I come across one with a less than ideal dial, the barrels
: need a good dial to shine.

: Just remember, long cuffs whilst driving, the play of light on the
: dial can be terribly distracting!
