The outer case has a light dent on the back. Minor surface scratches consistent with age. The button works but has solder infill. The inner case has numerous scratches, light dents, visible planishing. There is denting around the stem, a chip to the glass between 11 o'clock and 12 o'clock.
The watch ticks when wound but is slightly reluctant due to the cock plate adding some resistance over the balance wheel. It runs freely when this is held up using a fingernail. There is no watch key present with this piece.
The watch has been ticking away nicely.
