Condition & Details:
This watch retains its original dial, but there is visible wear. The ‘S’ in “Submariner” has been smudged, possibly due to past cleaning. The hour markers remain white rather than developing a creamy patina, and the hands show some discoloration. There are also a few marks across the dial. However, this is an authentic and original “Single Red” dial, making it a valuable collector’s piece.
