One of the harder-to-find 39mm all steel iterations of this watch, this one's a project I've never made the time to get to.Unpolished Gigandet-signed steel case is in great shape; light scuffing but nothing major. Turned-down lugs are thick and sharp. Signed crown has some damage to the insignia, but is perfectly functional.Panda dial's in fantastic shape; under 10x loupe there are no marks that I can see. Stainless steel markers and hands are all excellent, ditto the red chrono seconds hand. White subdials and date-ring are all bright and impeccable. The crystal could use replacing or a buff.The signed movement's currently function partially: the watch keeps sort of amazingly good time, and the running seconds at 9 is fine. The chronograph is operational—the top button gets the red seconds hand moving, but the chrono hands gets hung up on the watch's minute hand. Bottom button resets chrono seconds and hour hand to 12. The chrono minute hand is missing; I lost it in my safe, frustratingly.The day/date/month functions are all in need of work. Pushers don't advance; day/date/month don't advance manually. It's a great watch in need of some TLC.
