Mvt: GRO, good balance motion, good poise, clean plates show a number of light MFS not very visible due to the brilliant damascene, good slots & settings, although the gold setting and jewel for the barrel arbor has been changed to a simple brass bushing without alteration to the bridge or screws, reducing the jewel count by one until correct jewel replacement is found, tiny oxide on bright work with many tiny specks on whiplash; dial has fine surface but a few very faint hls and concealed edge fleck at 3; hands good; period & style appropriate recase of heavy GF quality shows light (back) to medium (front) even wear but no brass, some MFS, minor dings visible only inside the covers near the edges, the original screw hole on the pendant has been clumsily plugged and a new screw placed on the opposite side, could be plugged nicely with a little additional effort; bow & crown show very little wear, fine replacements; good glass crystal; rare model, great damascene, good recase needing only finishing touches to the pendant plug
