Not too bad, but the lugs are a bit uneven. The 11 o'clock one has a ding on the underside and looks like it may have a protruding springbar, but there's no clear view of that one. The 5 o'clock lug looks a bit overpolished too. Bracelet is very tight but the clasp code is for 2005, so its probably not original to the watch anyway. Insert may be newer too, but the bezel teeth are quite worn. Dial is the best thing about it, IMO. Seller also gives two dates, but 1985 is the right one.
