Condition Report
Movement is currently functioning but was sluggish on wind up and required a gentle push on the balance to get it started. It would benefit from a service. Dust cover does not fit flush. Case shows signs of general wear with light scratches, marks and tarnishing. There are also a variety of dints, especially to the case middle. The case font has some red residue on it, the chapter ring looks crisp and clear although it appears that some of the numerals may have had some touch up work. Hands are lightly tarnished but otherwise appear to be in a good state, the dial is dirty and possesses some hairline cracks that begin at the aperture for the hands and run throughout the dial, there are some more cracks prominent near the edge. The glass is filthy and what looks like a circular mark left by the minute hand can be seen.
