It has aged, but it's in good condition. I've included various pictures, please take a look. I had it cleaned at the watch shop every time I replaced the battery, and I took good care of it. It should be fine if you replace the battery. There are some light scratches on the surface, but they're not noticeable unless you look closely. The back says WATER RESIST, STEEL, and JAPAN. I bought it at a Paul Smith store.
