Condition Report
Movement is currently functioning, presently the quarter repeating mechanism is working correctly, however please be aware that the movement, although overall in a pleasing condition with minor scratches, is quite dirty and the oil sinks appear dry, therefore would benefit from a service, the case shows signs of general wear commensurate with age, sporting light scratches, marks and dints, the majority of which appear to be superficial and should polish out, repeating slide has a dent, the monogram to the rear is sharp, the front of the case is lightly rubbed but the chapter ring with its blue enamelled numerals is clear and strong, the rear hinge has a scratch and the pin is slightly short but this has not affected the action of the hinge, the pendant bow is loose, the inside glass has a mark around the inside from one of the hands, it does not appear permanent but the height of the hands should be checked, hands are lightly tarnished, dial appears to be in a good condition.
