Condition
The movement is running, however we recommend service soon. The hinge for the cuvette is broken and the cuvette comes off of the watch when opened. This will need to be repaired. The dial is in nice and intact condition. The case is generally in nice condition with light wear. There is some loss to the enamel leaves on the back of the case, however it is not very noticeable and can be repaired. Overall this is a wonderful watch.
