The case is a "service case" from the Rolex factory, but the case back is correct and authentic Rolex from the period. The authentic Rolex acrylic crystal is in good condition with a few very light surface scratches from light wear, but no deep scratches. The matte black dial is in very good condition with no scratches, but again it is a service dial from the Rolex factory.
The non-hacking 1570 caliber movement appears to be of the same date as the case back. The watch presently keeps good time, but could use a service in the future. Hands and crown are both also authentic Rolex. This watch has all authentic Rolex parts, except for the leather band. No original boxes or booklets.
