This example benefits from a recent full overhaul by a reputable local watchmaker, offering both vintage character and modern usability. The clean sunburst dial, crisp caseback engravings, and overall balanced presentation make it a strong everyday vintage watch with minimal compromise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr style=\"margin: 20px 0; border: none; border-top: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin: 16px 0 8px;\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 8px;\"\u003eSilver sunburst dial shows light, even patina consistent with age, with original hands and applied indices intact.
