Condition report:
The nine carat gold case shows significant surface wear, marks, and scratches throughout, with visible discolouration on the lugs and case edges (photos 1 and 4). The champagne dial appears in generally good condition with minor signs of age. The crystal exhibits surface scratching (photo 4). The leather strap is in poor condition with heavy creasing, cracking, and surface loss, requiring replacement (photo 3). The quartz movement shows visible signs of oxidation and residue consistent with a historic battery leak near the terminals (photo 1); the lot is sold as non-running and currently inoperable.
