■Condition: There are very few scratches on the case, case back and the Crystal Domed Acrylic not visible at all to the naked eyes despite of over 60 years usage, since the watch had been treasured and kept carefully as memorial gift from CEO of Japanese Railway Company. The watch is in an excellent good condition overall since quick-day/date-set device still does work precisely, but very careful handling, when set the time/date, is required due to real vintage watch. From January15th to 27th the watch had been tested with 3-400 round Magic Lever automatic winding by arm swing movement; the time accuracy is less than 15 seconds in 24 hours. Power reserve is 38 hours. So, the watch is in good condition overall, but very careful handling is required due to vintage real watch. The watch needs to be wound daily at your convenience by natural arm movement to keep more accurate time. It was functioning normally at the time of listing, so it should continue to function without any issues.
