Condition Report:
Case: The case is presented in well-preserved condition with signs of old polishing. The case edges and bevels are nice and defined. There are scuffs and hairlines through, prominently on the lugs, and some polished dings on the bezel. The watch has developed a nice warm patina, more visible from at the rear near the lugs. The buckle is presented in similar condition to the case.
Dial: The dial is presented in well-preserved condition with signs of oxidization and ageing. There are ageing marks and spots on the dial, and small visible lines near 3:30 and 8:30. The hands show signs of oxidization. The hour markers have developed thin patina.
Movement: Movement: The present example displays a movement that functions properly during the cataloguing process. Please note that the movement has not been tested for accuracy. A service is recommended.
