More Information

Although there do not appear to be any cracks or hairline cracks in the tortoiseshell case, it is however quite badly scratched a little to the sides, but extensively to the back door; the back door needs hinge requires attention to the pin, possible re-glue required; the movement ticks; the movement sits slightly loose in the case. See images for guidance, personal viewing always advised where possible.
