Manual winding movement running while cataloguing, however it is recommended to get service. Dial looks nice and clean, second hand slightly tarnished but can be cleaned. Case, bracelet and clasp with scuffs from normal wear. Overall appears in good condition. Please note the movement number of this watch is 1490620 and does not match the number (1185291 ) on the certificate. It is our opinion that movement was replaced around mid 1980's.
