Quite a find Bill !

Well done !   The dial does not look too bad at all, i could live with that..

Long stick hands and the U-form bow would certainly enhance the piece enormously, as the catalog-picture looks absolutely lovely with it's art-deco characteristics. The case will be fully original no doubt. A rare item!

Succes,  Ben.
