Honest wear consistent with age is present, including light surface scratches visible on the case flanks and bezel area, as well as moderate surface wear and scratches across the caseback.

A flat, square-profile acrylic crystal matches the case perfectly and remains clear, with no significant scratches, cracks, or crazing visible.
