The front and rear covers show moderate wear on the flat sections, but the the die engraved morning glory floral pattern around the front and rear cover edges show only minor wear, and the deep die engraved detail on the case ring shows very little wear at all. The only brassing seen is on the sides of the case neck. The case bow is firm and the crown has very little wear. The rear cover still has the original Fahys watch paper inside.
