Condition Report
There is no box or papers, movement working when wound, one screw at edge near winding button lacking, screw on the opposing side to this is also lacking. Dial and hands in good condition, a few scuff marks to the front of the case between 12 and 2 o'clock, otherwise a few minor surface marks and hairline scratches. The leather strap is rather worn as a result of use.
The movement is of Swiss manufacture and as it is not an import mark, we would assume the watch was retailed in London
