Looks to be a very clean example. Case doesn't look over polished and original bezel insert is still present. Bracelet looks original to me as well. Dial is has a slight color change (has turned purple from the original blue color) and look great. Just want to point out there is a slight discoloration at 11 o'clock near the minute markers. Over all a nice example assuming bracelet is still in above average condition.

Michael, thanks for your comment. But I still have some question.
Does the insert fonts color turned silver from gold?
I can't find any refence for my dial. The depth rate "ft", "f" not in the middle on the above "MA".
The bracelet is good.

I believe at one time there were blue inserts with silver fonts. I have had several members query me here on TRF to buy one. On the later, blue bezel inserts with the gold-colored metal PIP, you sometimes find silver numbers, but usually it is from the gold lettering fading to silver. You can usually tell it is from fade because the ring encircling the PIP remains gold.
