The movement is running and dead-beat seconds are functioning, however we recommend service soon. It is numbered N823486. The dial is nice and clean with some very light surface spots, but overall very pretty. The case shows light wear with light surface scuffs and evidence that it has been polished at some point. The numbers between the lugs are 6556 and 138592 and inside the back is 6556 and I.56. The braclet is in nice condition with an overall length of 185MM. It is numbered 57 to the ends and 7205 to the end links as well as 2 69 to the buckle.
