This watch is running at COSC spec.
Case
Very nice case that has just been polished. The case has pitting around the caseback and case where the caseback attaches to the case. It is water resistant but I would not recommend doing any full submerging of the watch.
The caseback is stamped: 1665
Bezel/Insert
Excellent condition black insert that has faded with age to a blue/gray and has light wear from use.
Dial
Excellent Mk 1 dial with even creamy hour markers. The watch comes with the correct open 6 and 9 silver date disc.
Hands
Excellent newer Tritium hands that do not glow and have aged to a few shades lighter than the markers. The patina on the hands is gradually darker closer to the center post due to some oil staining.
Bracelet/Strap
Very nice 93150 Oyster bracelet with 11 links and 580 end links. The bracelet has light stretch from use.
Accessories
This watch comes with only the watch as shown in the photos.
