The dial has aged slightly, so that it is a dark gray and the subsidiary dials have a slight patina. Some of the tachometer scale on the bezel has lots its original black tracking, and there is a slight ding at 200. The case is in overall very nice condition with light to moderate signs of wear. The bracelet shows more light surface scuffing. The numbers between the lugs are 6265 and 6123299. The inside of the case back has the reference number 6263.
