Condition Report
This piece shows general signs of wear and tear, although the case lines remain fairly sharp for a watch of this age. Mechanically, the movement appears to be very sound, and is keeping excellent time as of 18/06/19.

I have no reason to believe that the dial has been restored at any point, however this, along with the timekeeping ability and water-resistance cannot be guaranteed.

Bidding indicates acceptance of the condition of the lot.  All lots are sold subject to general wear and tear commensurate with age and handling over time and only obvious faults will be mentioned after a visual inspection.
