Condition Report: Movement appears complete and original with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. Movement is relatively clean and is fully operational. The dial appears free from visible damage. The case is generally in very good condition; the left-hand side glass has some very slight internal edge chipping to the rear corner and a small chip to front upper corner - both only visible on close examination; glasses otherwise appear free from visible condition. The travelling case is in sound condition but with overall edge wear and blemishes to the surfaces. The optional slide-in front panel is lacking and the right hand upright bordering the dial is a little distorted with re-colouring to the leather at this point; strap handle is present and intact but with overall wear. Lining has some edge wear and light fading otherwise is generally in sound condition. Clock has a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer
