More Information

Watch currently ticking.
Chiming action inconsistently chimes when the button is physically 'moved' Doesn't appear to be chiming when hands move. Appears movement will require attention.
Case with good 'snap' functionality.
Partial movement seen to the reverse, the rest off the movement needs plate to be 'screwed' off.
Top ring shows major thinning commensurate with being worn, remainder of the case doesn't appear to have major signs of thinning.
Dial with minor crack to centre radiating out towards 5 o'clock, and further crack from subsidiary dial radiating out towards 2 o'clock.
Glass to dial and outside case both with scratches.
General scuffs and surface blemishes to the case, commensurate with use.
Enamelling to reverse of case in good condition, loss seen to the face of the lion.
'Knife marks' to upper left hand side of the reverse of the case.
Pocket watch would overall benefit from a clean.
