While it may have been polished in the past, it still features full lugs, sharp edges, and a very good matte finish on the top of the case. There are signs of wear, but overall, it is a really good vintage case that perfectly matches the vintage charm of this watch.  <\/p>\n<p>The Submariner Date dial is a real delight. It&#8217;s the demanded MK3 MAXI version, where the lume dots have been applied over a larger area, giving it a lot of presence on the wrist. MAXI is simply a stunner on the wrist, there&#8217;s no other way to put it.  <\/p>\n<p>The dial is in beautiful condition. Clear print, great patina, and typical of the MK3 MAXI, we have a great texture on the black dial parts, which, depending on the light, appears from black to gray. We took a special photo in direct sunlight to beautifully showcase this texture.  <\/p>\n<p>The lume dots at 5 and 6 are missing some lume material, but this is not noticeable in real life and does not distract from the beauty of the watch.<\/p>\n<p>The hands are also in great condition, with a patina that matches the dial.<\/p>\n<p>The bezel is wonderfully sharp, and the fantastic MK3 bezel inlay with its cool blue coloration is the perfect complement to a magnificent vintage Submariner.<\/p>\n<p>The 93150 Oyster bracelet has been replaced once over the years and is therefore more recent. The clasp code is P9 for September 1991. It is in fine condition, with little stretch and matching signs of wear.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion: A great watch with a lot of vintage charm. Not for the &#8220;unworn&#8221; hunter.
