It’s a very smart and elegant watch. Case has some
wear with bumps and scratching; the dial is crisp with light aging patina
discolouration. See faded blue date chapter ring comment. The acrylic glass has
some light polishable scratches. The photos are part of the condition report
and description.
At time of writing, it is ticking away nicely. See stiff
function button comment, the movement maybe a little dry and in need of a
service. As with all watches/clocks we sell there are no guarantees as to the
movement once in the possession of the buyer.
Weighs 37.5g with strap.
