Case appears to have been heavily polished however is in general good condition for it's age, button is intact. Dial has a few scratches and a little nibbling to the enamel around the hands however is in generally very good condition for age, minute hand is missing. There is excess glue to the edge of the bulls edge glass which would benefit from being cleaned away, glass shows some light scratches worst of which is above 12 o'clock.
