As shown in the pics, a large part of the case is in very good condition. There are a few tiny marks and indentations, but they are difficult to see without close examination or magnification. The caseback, on the other hand, has a lot of noticeable scratches, perhaps from attempts to get into the movement... In my opinion, the case has NOT been polished.Bezel - Good condition. Structurally there is little wear, as the "teeth" are not worn down at all. The red coloring for the numbers on the outer dial, on the other hand, are a little worn out. They can be touched-up by an watchmaker (but personally I would keep it as is)Crystal - Good condition. With light at certain angles and held close to the eye, one can see a few random tiny scratches. There is a more noticeable one near the center.Dial - Decent condition. The only issue here is the lumes: 4, 8 and 10 o'clock are missing. The lume at 9 o'clock is worn down. That said, all of the lumes light up in the dark (after exposure to light of course).Crown - Very Good condition. Pulls out to with some effort to set date and time.Hands - Good condition. Very little wear on the hands themselves. The lume on the second hand does not light up well in the dark. Movement - Cosmetically in very good condition. My watchmaker recently performed a complete overhaul/cleaning service. I have tested the watch for many days and it currently runs about 10 seconds a day a the current setting. This can be made more accurate with some patience by adjusting the regulator. Strap - Excellent conditionComment: I purchased this pocket watch from a reputable American auction house. I hate to sell it, since I get so many compliments when i wear it. An excellent collectors piece! BUY IT NOW PRICE = $2,500 or BEST OFFERSHIPPING:USAFREE via USPS Priority Mai
