: hands are all original and correct for this model and show no
: signs of corrosion. The plexi, a replacement, is in excellent
: condition.

: timed by my watchmaker, has been well taken care of and shows no
: discoloration or excessive toolmarks. The watch winds and sets
: smoothly, all chronograph functions are operational and work
: well. The power reserve is within original specs (36-40 hours
: when fully wound).
