About 95% with only a few minor scuffs on the case. The Stingray strap is a cheap aftermarket that is showing wear, the rubber strap was only on the watch once, I tried to like it but it just made my wrist sweat.
The automatic movement is a Swiss EL-18 based on Claro 888-2 According to James Elsner the whole movement is reworked to EL's spec with a few tweaks you can see like blued screws, Côte de Genève decoration, and hand-calibrated rotor.
The 316 L Case is 40mm, and the bezel is fixed.
As previously mentioned it will come with 2 20mm straps, the original tire tread rubber with EL signed buckle, and one low end Stingray with deployant. It has a Sapphire crystal front and back, 5ATM - 50 meters WR.
The most striking feature is the yellow hand-turned guilloché dial, generally not found on mid range watches. If you look closely at the pictures you will notice the one major flaw on this watch. I'll give you a chance to find it for yourself, sort of a game to play even if your not interested in the watch. This flaw is the reason for the low low price.
This watch is the very same watch that is pictured on the EL website, just look for the flaw.
It also comes with box and papers
$200 or a trade of equal value, something a bit more conservative.
Look closely at the 1 O'clock marker, it is backwards.
