Red Sub as found from original owner - rough and perfect all at the same time

its great to find a watch like this in its original condition and it doesn't happen every day.  The dial and hands of this red sub are a 10/10 and have amazing patina.  The case is well worn however some of the original bevel can still be seen in certain spots.  The numbers between the lugs are crisp.  The bezel is sharp and the insert has faded to an even grey blue color which compliments the dial nicely.  The bracelet is a 9315 and it appears that in the late 70s possibly the clasp was replaced as it has a C code and has a bit of stretch commensurate with age - 11 links plus diver ext.  The movement is actually running seemingly perfectly but we would have it checked by our watchmaker before delivery and a new crystal can be installed by request.  Has original box but no papers.
