Dial and Hands
The silver sunburst finish is exceptionally clean and well-preserved, showcasing strong original details. Applied indices and logos remain clean and intact, while the printed text is crisp with no visible loss. A distinctive fluted inner chapter ring frames the dial beautifully, and the watch is equipped with a Kanji day wheel. The dauphine hands show light, age-appropriate patina, with minor surface oxidation and spotting visible under magnification, though their shape and form remain well defined.
Case and Crystal
The 38mm gold-tone case features a smooth bezel and a stainless steel caseback displaying the dolphin engraving. The case shows honest wear consistent with age and regular use, with visible plating degradation and fading particularly on the lug edges and case flanks, alongside moderate scratches and scuffs present throughout the case body. The smooth bezel shows light scratches and minor plating wear consistent with the rest of the case. The pusher at 2 o'clock and the recessed crown at 4 o'clock are intact. The domed acrylic crystal is generally clear, with minor superficial scratches visible under certain lighting angles.
Movement
Powering the watch is the automatic Seiko caliber 7606A with 23 jewels. The movement appears generally clean with no severe corrosion visible, while the rotor and bridges show standard finishing with minor surface marks. The timegrapher records a rate of -40-45s/day.
