[My impression]
The heavy speckled patina gives this Ref.1500 a very strong vintage character.
It will not be for everyone, but I like how naturally the silver dial has aged into warm gold and brown tones.

[Dial] : Patina
It appears original, with heavy speckled patina across the surface. No clear signs of redial, repainting, or relume.

They appear original, with no clear signs of replacement or relume.

[Crystal] : Very Good
Plexiglass.

[Case, crown and caseback] : Good
The case has many small scratches but appears unpolished. Crown screw-in is very good (approx. 1.2 turns). The serial engraving is readable.

New aftermarket leather strap, not Rolex.

Automatic winding, hand-winding, time-setting, and date change around midnight work properly.
