CASE & BRACELET
The symmetrical case has been lightly polished in the past and retains very full lugs that show light signs of honest use. The smooth stainless steel bezel appears to have only been very lightly polished in the past and shows light, honest use. The era-correct Rolex 7206 Oyster-Rivet bracelet with 58 end pieces is stamped 1/69 and could be original to the watch due to Rolex's distribution of parts in this era and retains 11 links with minimal stretch from use.

DIAL & HANDS
The early matte black Mk. I "Frog Foot" and "Fat Font" dial is in very well preserved vintage condition, showing light signs of aging around the dial edges and light speckling which is common for early matte dials. The tritium lume plots have achieved a handsome creamy patina and exhibit some dark speckling which is expected, under U.V. light inspection the lume plots exhibit no degradation. The hands are original to the watch, under U.V. light inspection the hour and minute hands have been professionally restored with tritium to match the dial, the sweep seconds hand retains its original lume and shows a very minor crack, remaining stable.

ACCESSORIES
None. Watch just received full and complete service and is running at COSC spec backed by a 1-year warranty on accurate timekeeping.
