CASE & BRACELET
The previously polished case exhibits strong full lugs with even case profiling that shows very light wear from use. The smooth stainless steel bezel shows light honest wear from use. The watch retains its original Brevet "plus sign" twin-lock crown. The era-correct Rolex rolled-link Jubilee bracelet with 55 end pieces is slightly later than the watch and exhibits normal stretch for its style and age.
DIAL & HANDS
The "SWISS only" gilt chapter ring Explorer dial is uniquely stunning. The gilted chapter ring and text remains bright in coloration without damage. The glossy finish of the dial has aged to a lovely matte texture. The radium lume plots and numerals have achieved a charming dark patina, especially to the right of the dial. Under U.V. light inspection the radium lume plots remain in very good condition, only exhibiting very minor degradation. The original radium gilt hands with "lollipop" sweep-seconds hand remain in stunning condition and match the gilt coloration of the text on the dial, the radium lume has aged a few shades lighter than the dial to an excellent sandy coloration that matches the overall fit and feel of the watch.
