Condition: lot is in very good, well preserved condition. The silver dial has organic patina throughout, though signature and scales still present clearly and attractively. the original handstack (as well as those on the sub-registers) display areas of rust. The case has slight surface scratches on front of lugs, a small dent near the 8 o' clock side of the bezel, as well as misguided wrench marks on the caseback, however the case is otherwise well preserved and otherwise believed to be unpolished. Engravings are crisp and legible, and factory brushed finishing is visible throughout. Movement runs and sets as it should. Heritage does not guarantee timekeeping accuracy.
