CONDITION:
Mvt: Running, good repeat function and tone, fine cosmetic mvt condition overall, numerous scattered fine to micro-fine scratches; dial with faint hls between center and 3; excellent hands; case shows light wear, patch of fine to micro-fine scratch abrasion at front center, some scattered soft dings to lids and band, front currently leaving some gap to band when closed but this is primarily due to crystal height being higher than appropriate and with bezel/crystal removed the lid closes very nearly fully flush with only a minuscule sliver of space along left side; tight bow, crown shows light wear with ridge break; glass crystal somewhat taller than appropriate causing case front to close with some gap to band, recommend replacement with a flatter glass crystal.
