THIS WATCH WAS WOUND DIALY (APPROX 25 HALF TURNS) AND RAN SMOOTHLY OVER AND OBSERVED PERIOD OF ABOUT A WEEK. IT WAS ABOUT 2 MINUTES FAST AFTER THAT TIME. ALL MECHANICAL WATCHES OF THIS AGE SHOULD BE SERVICED TO MAINTAIN FUNCTIONAL HEALTH AND ACCURATE TIME KEEPING. IT HAS NOT BEEN SERVICED WHILE IN MY POSSESSION. I NORMALLY SHOW THE MOVEMENT BUT IT WAS STUCK ON FROM AGE AND I DID NOT TRUST MY ABILITY TO OPEN IT WITHOUT DAMAGE.
Very Good overall vintage used physical condition. Some marks on the watch band, crystal and case from handling and storage. Can benefit from some polishing and cleaning. Please refer to the pictures for more detail.
