The movement is running, the split-second chronograph is functioning and the repeat is in phase. We recommend service soon as it might have been awhile since it was last done. The dial is in nice condition with no visible hairlines. The case shows general wear with light scuffs throughout. The outside of the back is engraved with a monogram 'AE'. The engraving to the cuvette reads 'E. P. Davis, Vancouver, B.C., February 22nd, 1910'. Overall this is a very clean and nice watch in nice condition.
