Condition Report
Movement is currently functioning, stop mechanism feels rather stiff and the movement may benefit from an overhaul, case shows signs of general wear commensurate with age and material and bears light scratches, marks, small patches of discolouration and tarnishing, there is an area where the case has been flattened slightly between nine and ten o'clock and a tiny chip to the edge of the bezel but otherwise the majority of these marks are superficial and should polish out. The glass possesses a small chip to it's edge and some scratches, the dial looks to be in a generally good condition with no obvious signs of damage, hands are filthy with some light signs of tarnishing. all would benefit from a clean.
