Condition Report
Movement is currently functioning, it is covered with detritus and there is evidence of dried oil in the oil sinks so would benefit from an overhaul. The case bears signs of general use with light scratches, marks and tarnishing. There is also the odd area where it appears the plating might be lifting. Additionally there is a built up of detritus inside some of the detail and fissures in the case. Dial and hands appear to be in a generally pleasing condition if a little tarnished (there is evidence of what may be surface rust on the hands). The glass is dirty with the odd dint, especially to the edges, but nothing that obscures the view of the dial.
