Tropical Rootbeer
Case: Excellent condition case with thick and even lugs. 18K yellow gold fluted bezel is crisp and remains sharp. Overall light signs of use. 7.39 million serial.

Bracelet: The 21 link jubilee bracelet is in great condition with average stretch for its age. Clasp has an I code dating it to 1984.

Tropical rootbeer anyone?
