The crystal also has only very minimal scratches and at a certain angle of light you can see a small blemish on its very edge just below the 16 minute mark.  The single-sunk dial is pristine and has no hairline cracks.  I've tried to show all these areas in the photos.  The watch is pendant wind with a lever set, and it was serviced by a master watchmaker upon being added to my personal collection.  I have observed it for about the past day and can say that it is running very strong and has kept very accurate time (though I cannot guarantee accuracy over time on any vintage timepiece). This movement is clean and running strong, but I would recommend having it freshened if you intend to use this watch daily.  A very nice watch, well taken care of, for your collection or use.  I should probably keep it in my collection, but I am focusing on some other collecting right now.  I believe I have set a price commensurate with its condition, and I will consider reasonable offers.  Please see photos for details, and please do not hesitate to ask any questions.  Thanks very much for looking.  And, please do not bid if you cannot complete the auction within 3 days or do not have some significantly positive feedback.  The watch will be carefully packaged and shipped promptly by USPS Priority Mail upon receipt of full payment.
