Condition
Movement running at the time of cataloguing. The dial and hands in very good condition. The patina is consistent to the hands, dial and bezel. The case with signs of wear, scuffs throughout but mostly to upper lugs and bracelet, minor dents to the inner side of the lugs. The case looks as though it has never been polished, with the original bevels and marks crisp and well defined. Clasp securing firmly. The spring bar between the top lugs does not fit properly so the bracelet is not secure. The case back engraved 'M.S-A.G June 1983'.
The watch has not been tested to determine the accuracy of its timekeeping. Please note that Sotheby's does not guarantee the future working of the movement and that a service may be required at the buyer's discretion.
