The case is in very good overall condition. It comes with a slide repeat. The gold mark on the bow is clear and visible. The enamel dial is generally in good condition with light dust and a small hairline at 6 o’clock. The top subdial shows very light pitting. The repeater is chiming in phase and the movement is running.
