The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.
The present lot is offered in good overall condition. The dial is in very good overall condition with very light signs of spotting starting to form around the minute tract. The lume plots are uniform and even when exposed to UV light. The 3 o clock plot is starting to experience a loss in material. The hands have slightly aged and are showing signs of fade on the lume. The sweep seconds hand has aged and appears to have been replaced. The case is in good overall condition with signs of wear focused at the sides, consistent with the age and use of the watch. The bracelet is in good overall condition with signs of wear consistent with the case. The clasp is in good overall condition with signs of wear consistent. The chronograph function starts, stops, and resets at the time of cataloguing. The movement is in working order at the time of cataloging, consistent with the age of the watch. The movement has not been tested for accuracy. A service is recommended given the age of the watch.
