There are some scratches and tarnishing to the top plate and regulator disk, but otherwise in good condition and running well.

DIAL : A signed white enamel dial, with a nicely painted polychrome fishing scene to the centre.

In reasonable condition with damage around the winding hole, two short hairlines from the edge at 11, and a repair on the edge at 6.

Unmatched fancy gilt hands.

Although the outer hinge is a bit worn, it still functions correctly. Otherwise nice condition throughout.
