Hands - nice hand with oxidised wear as expected.
Case - the inner case hallmarked as shown in the images there are some light bruise marks present as shown, the outer pair case is a base gilt metal and not gold, the inner case sits nicely in this case but possibly a marriage subject to personal opinion.
