Condition

The movement is running, however it may require service soon. The dial is clean and has been expertly re-printed. The case bears scuffs from wear and is etched with numbers, presumably from service. The case back is also stamped with two four digit number, likely the original Cartier numbers, that are rubbed and now difficult to make out, although the second number appears to be 6033. The French stamps to the side of the case are rather rubbed and show that it has been lightly polished.
