拍品的狀況可能存在極大差異，而由於其性質使然，拍品難以處於完美無瑕的狀態。拍品均以拍賣時的狀況出售。

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.
