Condition

Please note that the movement has not been tested for the accuracy of its time keeping and therefore a service should be carried out in the near future at the buyer's expense. The movement is running at the time of cataloguing and the correctors for day, date, months (with equation of time) are operational, the corrector for the moon-phases isn't. Dial and hands in nice condition. The case with usual scuffs throughout.
