Condition Report: The watch is currently working, it winds and runs. There is a hair crack to the dial which runs from the dial center, round the edge of the seconds and then out to four o'clock. The seconds section of the dial looks depressed inwards. The hands have been re-blackened. There is some wear and one or two shallow dents to the case edge.

The top suspension bow is plated. Case diameter 46mm
