The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

The present lot is offered in very good overall condition. The silvered dial has developed an even patina, and light scratches can be seen from “hand drag” and removal . The robust polished finished case, made by Harrison Mills Frodsham, is in very good condition with light signs of daily wear on the case. Personalization on the case back reads “ Paul Dinant” with the Freemasons square and compass symbol above. This timepiece has been consigned by the family of Mr. Dinant. The movement is in working order at the time of cataloging, consistent with the age of the watch. All functions work, however servicing is strongly recommended due to unknown history. Split second function is slow to return to 0 set. The movement has not been tested for accuracy. A service is recommended given the age of the watch.
