The dial is very good and retains its original paint and showing expected signs of ageing. The case is excellent and both locks are present and working. The bezel shows signs of poor hinge repair at some point in the past, however, its seems to be stucturally sound. A price and timescale for any work required by the purchaser can be advised upon enquiry. Item code as1197a025 / AA 14436 Status Sold
