拍品的状况可能存在极大差异，而由于其性质使然，拍品难以处于完美无瑕的状态。拍品均以拍卖时的状况出售。

The case is in good condition with signs of wear commensurate with its age and has been lightly polished. There is a small engraving to the case back that has what appear to be the initials, "JFC." The inside case back and dust cover have light scratches. The hallmarks are crisp to the inside case back. The inside of the dust cover has watchmaker's marks. The movement is signed. The dial is in very good condition and has only one visible hairline crack near the 8 o'clock hour marker. The hands are in good condition and appear to be original. The hands have developed a patina. The movement was sold on its own to the U.S. in 1901. The movement is in working order at the time of cataloging, 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.
