Near mint throughout: Mvt: Pristine but gummed to a halt: NR, good balance staff, pristine plates show no MFS, pristine slots & toned settings, hardly oxide on copper flashed bright work, just toned discoloration due to galvanic action and atmospheric reaction; perfect dial w/ mint surface; hands mint but for tiny oxide spot in center of seconds hand; original case shows essentially no wear, a few MFS in blank escutcheon and internally, no dents or dings; bow & crown show no wear; crystal was too high for proper case closure and has been removed; the movement and dial could be referred to as aged new old stock, the case close to mint but for the MFS; a top condition example internally needing a complete cleaning to remove all frozen oil
