The watch ticks when wound. We cannot guarantee any of the watches to be in working order. The diameter of the case is 50mm. There is no play to rear cover hinge. There is a tiny gap when the cover is closed. Maker's mark PW possibly for Philip Woodman & Sons?. There is a very tired engraved monogram on the case back. The dial appears in good order with no visible signs of any damage, however there are a few specks and flecks dotted around the dial. There is a small dent near the edge of the cuvette. The case is hallmarked for 1895. The gross weight is 102.4 grams. The box is in generally good order although there are some scuff marks, conducive with age. The watch doesn't fit the box snuggly so may not be original.
