Condition

The movement is running, however we recommend service soon. The dial is in nice condition with no cracks or hairlines. The case has two diamonds missing on the upper right lug. Otherwise the case is in nice condition with light surface wear throughout. The outside of the back is numbered 4841D. There are also pieces of a link, now unusable. The box is damaged and in rough shape. This watch contains mother-of-pearl, which requires additional clearance by the US Fish & Wildlife Service for export. This process can take approximately 3-5 days.
