Mvt: GRO, good balance motion, good poise, clean plates show light tarnish or wash-out, a few MFS, slots & settings with minor marring, hardly any oxide on bright work, only one faint spot on otherwise mint winding wheels; dial has fracture & line with minor loss at hub of WI; hands near mint; otherwise near mint RR style recase has been opened to accomodate a larger plate size than standard in the back, creating a gap around any standard 16S RR mvt; the mvt appears to ride high in the back owing to this opening but it actually does not; the case that could be a dream case shows superb decoration, no wear, a few MFS, no dents or dings, although the inside of the back is scored in two places from too thick a mvt having been cased in here (my guess - an Elgin convertible was stuffed in); bow & crown show no wear; clean plastic crystal; generally good mvt condition, ideally the case will need a ring made to replace what was turned out, worth it for this case; back will need slight tuning as well to get it to fully align
