Mvt: GRO, excellent-plus mvt condition overall, some MFS and FS, no oxide; dial with edge roughness at 3, hl at 7, hl at 10 to 11, glue residue; hands near mint but minute bent; front cover has good lift spring, but the hinge is a bit stretched, causing the cover to cant a bit toward 6, so it may catch on the bezel about half of the time, and other times pop open with hair-trigger effect - a new hinge pin and truing the tubes, using a smoothing broach as a mandrel, will improve things; case shows light wear, many MFS, a few light dents or dings, vanished detail at the shoulders, the remainder quite reduced; gold bow pivots freely, has thinned spot at apex, new ideal crown shows no wear; now with good glass crystal - the prior crystal was OF plastic, contributing to the hinge stretch.
