Mvt: GRO, good balance motion, good escapement function, plates show fine gilding, little oxide on steel components; dial with flakes around seconds hole; hands mismatched, excellent, seconds too small but fitting its post well, the similar one in photo was far too big for the post and had never been fitted; original outer case shows light wear, many MFS, many dents and dings to back, some deep; button latch good, top perfect; original inner case shows less wear, many MFS, many dents or dings communicated from outer; bow & pendant original, reinforced at base; glass crystal of insufficient dome has been drilled to allow setting but still rides too tight to the post to allow key entry, tiny flecks around the bored hole.
