The movement is running, but the music is not functioning. The repeating is running intermittently and very slowly. The engine is turning to the case back, which is very slightly rubbed. Some lights are cuffed throughout. The case back does not snap shut. There is a dent in the band. The dial has some restoration to the blue enamel minute track. Otherwise, it is in fair condition.
