The movement is in working condition. The crystal shows some minor wear at the 12 o’clock position. Overall, the dial is in excellent condition. The case and case back have minor signs of wear visible to the naked eye. The case has been slightly polished, and the case number on the inner case back is barely legible. However, the hinge and bow remain in excellent overall condition.
