The dial is noticeably dirty, and the subsidiary dial has a crack between the 30 mark and the moon phase section. The engine turning shows some wear around the edges, and there might be a minor repair on the band at the 12 o’clock position. The watch ticks, repeats, and the chronograph hand functions and resets when wound.
