The case shows some surface scuffs throughout from moderate wear which could be buffed out if desired, with a slight ding to the top of the upper left lug.

Important Notice regarding importation into the United States of Rolex watches

The 1989 promotional literature described the Officer's Campaign Watch  as "the kind of wristwatch the front-line officer took to war in 1914... Inspired by the style of the first wristwatches of 75 years ago... To own this watch is to belong to a world where traditional values matter."

The Officer's Campaign Watch was produced in a limited run of 2000 pieces in yellow gold, 150 in white gold and 50 in platinum. 

The present watch was added by Mr. Fullerton to his collection in 2003; his patience was rewarded by acquiring a fine example that retains all of the accoutrements it left the factory with originally.
