Dial, possibly aftermarket, is patinated with a slightly darker shadow around the center, very unusual losange texture, luminescent dots nearly disappeared and no more glowing. Hands are no more glowing and certainly replaced with the second hand in a different tone than the two other ones. The gilt bezel doesn't rotate easily, polished mainly at 12. The crown with a cross under the Rolex crown. Case with the usual scuffs and scratches due to age and use, polished. Inside of the case back engraved IV 53, the 3 engraved in an unusual way. The Rolex folding clasp is modern, numbered 78360. Please note the movement has not been tested for time keeping and a service might be required at the buyer's expense. *Please note that the present lot does not come with original strap.*
