Operating State: - The movement has been serviced (disassembly, cleaning, lubrication and regulation). - Keeping time precisely.
Condition Notes: - Case: Shows moderate to significant wear consistent with age and use. Visible scratches and scuffs throughout the case surfaces, particularly on the sides, lugs, and case edges. The gold plating shows notable loss in several areas, especially around the lug roots and case flanks where the base metal is becoming visible. The overall case shape remains good with no major dents. Chronograph pushers retain their original form. - Dial: Displays considerable aging with noticeable patina across the dial surface, which has developed a warm creamy-ivory tone. Some minor spotting and age-related blemishes are visible. The "BWC SWISS" and "INCABLOC" printing remains legible. The applied gold baton hour markers show their original finish. Both subdials maintain a cream tone consistent with the main dial, showing minor aging. - Crystal: Exhibits light to moderate scratches and surface wear from normal use. The crystal remains sufficiently clear to read the dial without significant obstruction.
