CONDITION:
Mvt: GRO, good chronograph function apart from some occasional sluggishness of the reset of the split hand in the counterclockwise direction, excellent cosmetic mvt condition overall, slight cloudy tone to plates, some fine and micro-fine scratches to balance cock, some small bits of oxide to steelwork; dial has area below 12 that appears to have been polished for removal of a signature and this area is visible in reflected light as having a cloudy appearance in contrast to the surrounding reflective surface glaze, dial otherwise excellent with only some micro-fine scratches; near mint hands; case shows light wear, slight shallow dent toward right side of rear; tight bow, crown shows light wear with some ridge break; good glass crystal with a small finish bubble at its upper left. Box in fine-plus condition, some loss of leather on sides and bottom, some fraying of inside material at corners, button latches securely but allows a small bit of upper lid play.
