Unusre as to whether or not the watch is contemporary to the well, but it appears to be a better fit than the previous lot. The watch is ticking and appears in good order. We cannot guarantee any of the watches to be in working order. Therer are several small chips around the base of the well otherwise the overall condition is good. Hallmarks clear, although there is some rubbing to the lion en passant on the lid.
