The watch has a signed Swiss 15-jewel hand-winding movement, calibre 1022, which is working nicely.
The watch measures 33mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The case is chromium plated and the case back is stainless steel. There is some marking to the plate but nothing too serious.
The lens looks good to the naked eye, there is light marking if you look very closely.
The signed dial is in its original finish with original hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and minute markers. There is some discolouration around the edge of the dial.
A new leather strap has been fitted.
The watch comes in a new presentation box.
All prices include UK postage (excluding Northern Ireland).
