Strap: Fitted on its original Vacheron Constantin double-sided brown alligator strap with a polished 18kt rose gold 'Maltese Cross' tang buckle. The strap is in very good condition, with plenty of wear-time remaining. We would categorize the strap as in 85% condition. A new strap is available to be ordered in for roughly $400.

Geneva Quality Hallmark.
Condition: This watch is in overall excellent condition. The watch shows
very light signs of wear in form of light surface scuff marks & hairline scratches. We have chosen NOT to have the watch polished in order to maintain the original finish, which is preferable to some collectors. Polishing is optional at no additional costs, although we would recommend against it. We would be comfortable in rating this watch at 90%+ condition as is. Delivered in its original box with all papers.
