Fine, half of the original brown finish remains with much of the Damascus pattern visible. 10% of the bright original case colors remain on the inside of the forearm hardware with a mostly smooth gray patina on the balance. The wood is also fine as refinished with scattered dings, scratches and a tight hairline crack on the top left of the wrist. Mechanically excellent.
