Condition Report
The movement is currently functioning but would benefit from a service as it is dirty (there is a build up of fluff on the swan neck regulator) and oil sinks are dry. The case screws are missing. Case shows signs of wear commensurate with age and material, with scratches, marks and tarnishing but the majority of these look to be superficial and should polish out. There are a few indentations to the case, one especially noticeable to the front. The pendant is loose. The dial is filthy with a light crack to the edge of the dial between four and five o'clock and a little chip near the edge near the six o'clock position, otherwise it appears to be in a generally good condition. Hands are showing signs of surface rust, minute hand is curved and doesn't quite line up with the hour hand. Glass is covered with a multitude of light scratches.
