Condition Report
Movement is currently functioning, the balance appears to have a good action but the jewel holes appear dry and the watch would probably benefit from an overhaul. Case shows signs of general wear with light scratches, marks and tarnishing with some nicks to the case middle. Case would benefit from clean and a refinish. Glass has a variety of scratches with light chips to the edge of the glass. Dial possesses a hairline crack running from the centre to between the one and two o'clock positions. Hands look to be in a generally pleasing condition.
