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 case shows signs of wear throughout, some light scratches in the band and on the case back. The engraving on the case back “John J. Killea, Dec. 25, 1955” is a little worn but still clear and the hallmarks on the back of the lugs are crisp. The case number between the lugs has been polished away and 4 digits scratched in its place. The ref number between the lugs is rubbed but still mostly visible in light. The dial and hands appear to be original, and remain in good condition, the hour hand with a small scratch. The movement is in working order at the time of cataloguing, consistent with the age of the watch. The movement has not been tested for accuracy. A service is recommended given the age of the watch.
