🔍 Honest Condition Report:
Mechanical: 10/10. Freshly serviced, cleaned, and running efficiently.
Cosmetic: Authentic, unpolished vintage condition. The black dial exhibits significant natural aging and spotting (often referred to by collectors as a "stardust" patina), giving it a unique, one-of-a-kind look. The hands and luminous material show age-related tarnish. The stainless steel case and bracelet show normal, honest signs of daily use, including surface scratches and scuffs typical for an unpolished watch of its age.
