Condition Report
The case is in fairly good order for its age and is generally tarnished and dirty, having some good definition left to the engine turned surface, the hinges are ok, the rear case release spring is jamming against its opening, meaning the case back does not lock down. The bow is in good order. The case front release operates well, the inner bezel has a glass but is loose. The white enamel dial has three hairline marks from the centre to the 10 o’clock, 2 o’clock and 4 o’clock positions, and a very faint one within the subsidiary seconds dial. The movement is in fair condition, the balance is ok and free, dial is loose as its missing its brass pins that secure the dial feet, and missing the fusee chain.
