Condition
The case:
Generally very good, the frame is a good colour.
The dial:
Generally good. Hands probably original, have been polished, but not re-blued.
The movement:
Clean and running. As one would expect it has been cared for/restored over the years, and the arbors have been re-bushed. The dial feet too appear to have been replaced?
