’The Golden BeaUTI’

The gold printing on the dial and the hands have taken on a nice patina with an overall warmer copper tone.
Strap
New tan brown oiled leather vintage style strap.
The watch is in overall good condition for the age and has general wear and tear marks to the top section of the case and bezel. The underside of the gold plating has become more heavily worn, though this is mainly hidden when on the wrist. (Please view the photos)
We believe the hands have been re-lumed and the main chrono hand is non-original but of the period.
