The cap band has moderate microscratching and the cartouche has what appears to be "WB" lightly scratched into it. The clip looks wonderful, just a little plating wear on the sides. The clip ring has some plating wear and pitting along the lower edge. The black top jewel has a few light scratch marks. The imprints are clear.
