The case is overall in very good condition, showing only superficial wear throughout. There are a few small minor nicks on the case back, and it appears to have been previously polished. The dial is also in good condition, with minor dark spots scattered across its surface and some light dust present. The black enamel signature remains strong and raised. The movement is running properly.
