It is in excellent condition showing only very slight wear. Caseback is excellent with a presentation engraving. Case measures 36mm long and 23mm wide. Original bright Butler finish dial is superb, has solid gold applied markers. Correct glass crystal with facet to match faceted bezel is excellent.
