📈 Condition & Notes

• Dial & Hands: The dial is in excellent condition — clean, with strong contrast, crisp printing, and fully intact luminous plots. There are no visible blemishes or signs of degradation on the sub-dials or central surfaces.

• Case: The stainless steel case remains sharp, with well-defined lug edges and thickness — evidence that the watch has not been overly polished. The bezel remains clean and evenly finished.

• Bracelet: The bracelet is correct for the reference, with minimal stretch and light age-related surface wear. No significant dents or dings.

• Movement: The Cal. 727 chronograph runs smoothly and resets properly. Keeps good time (vintage regulation), but as with all vintage chronographs, a full service is recommended if you plan to wear it regularly.

• No Box / No Papers: As noted, this watch is sold without original box or papers — reflected in the price.
