*Condition Details*
Movement: The automatic movement is running and ticking. It winds smoothly with wrist movement.
Dial: Very clean for its age! The champagne finish and gold-tone markers are bright and clear.
Crystal: There is a small crack in the crystal near the 5 o'clock marker and some light surface scuffing. I have left the original acrylic crystal intact for the next owner to decide whether to polish or replace.
