Condition Report:
Case: The case has signs of surface wear, scuffing, and nicks throughout commensurate with age. The bracelet has visible stretch. Pitting in between the top lugs. The clasp is stamped 'D 6', indicating that the bracelet is likely later added. The end links are stamps 'J' and '450'.

Dial: The dial is in overall good condition. A visible scratch between 9 o'clock and the center arbor. Light signs of age around the hour plots. The hands have aged to a warmer hue. The GMT hand with visible losses to the luminous material. Some more light losses to the luminous material in the Mercedes's hand. Lum no longer reacts to UV light.
