The lume plots are full and intact, and perfectly match the lume on the handset, all of which have aged very little. There is still brushed finishing on the bracelet, which has very little stretch. The clasp on the bracelet was replaced during service, as evidenced by the "S" stamped on the clasp, if it was not the case for the entire bracelet. This is a great example of a vintage Datejust with none of the potential downsides of buying vintage.
