The watch is in working condition and is keeping good time. On a full wind it rain for 36 hours and lost 8 minutes.

When the crown is fully pulled out and held out with a finger nail the time can be changed. Unfortunately the spring that holds the winding stem in the pulled out position has failed so the winder springs back when pulled out.

The acrylic glass crystal is lightly scratched. The case has numerous scuffs and scratches on it.

The strap is new.

Please see the photographs for an accurate representation of the item's overall condition.
