Fine, retains 60% original blue finish and 50% plus original case colors with the balance a smooth grey patina with a few patches of very light pitting. The wood is fine with some minor dings and scratches scattered throughout, a stabilized reglued crack visible in the left top side of the wrist, and well-defined checkering overall. Mechanically excellent.
