The marked LEADER coin silver case weighs 6 ounces and has a pristine 21 jewel lever set movement with gold jewel settings and is marked adjusted for 5 positions. The case has its original patina since it has not been polished. If the new owner wants the watch glowing like a mirror it can easily be done but I feel it adds character leaving it as is. The double sunk porcelain dial is completely original and in perfect condition with bold black numbers and small minute outer chapter with no fading or chips (there is a super light hairline in the wind indicator sub dial but it's hardly noticeable) . The original matching coin silver case is in excellent condition with light wear. The movement was manufactured with the ruby bearings and also has diamond and sapphire end stones. Please ignore black spots, shadows, reflections, and dust particles in the pictures they are hard to avoid during photography. I will work with you on the price and shipping costs to compensate for tax. Please let me know if you are very interested and we can discuss/negotiate options.
