Condition Report For Lot# 459:
Mvt: GRO, good balance motion, good poise, plates show good gilding, a few MFS, good slots & settings, tiny oxide on bright work with light patch on barrel arbor cover; dial perfect; hands good; recase is a very good stylistic choice, just a bit thin for the watch as the dial rides high and there is limited possibility of making a reflector ring easily to close the gap around it; cuvette has been plugged & re-drilled to match the holes; heavy gauge recase shows medium wear, some MFS, no dents, few minor dings; bow oversized, shows light wear; good glass crystal; a well-recased example of this rare Waltham grade
Estimate: $2000 - $4000
