The watch body appears to be free from nicks, dents, scratches, or other marks from what I can see, but the metal edge where you open the back cover is slightly rough (1/4 inch of it) from opening it over the years (see pictures). The outside edge of the case has some scratches and marks from use. This watch does not come with its original box, any original packaging, instruction manual, or any related documentation.
