CONDITION
The watch has been serviced at the cost of £190 in 2019 and after that has not been used very often.
It's still perfectly working and it comes with the watch service receipt .
Beautiful patina on the face. It has plenty of scratches and marks that in my opinion add up lots of character and coolness!
Please note that the orange marks on the face are only sunlight reflections!
