Condition
The original category is vintage, without a letter grade. Numerous crystal scratches, aged hands/markers and case/bezel marks. Winding during crown screw-in was observed; its mechanical significance needs inspection rather than an invented fault diagnosis. Past timing was+34 to +38 seconds/day, amplitude214° and beat error2.3 ms, not current readings. Replacement components, limited service availability and lack of reliable original water resistance remain explicit concerns. See Japanese condition ranks.
Authenticity & Care
Keep dry pending a qualified watchmaker's inspection of the movement, seals, crown and fastening. Do not open the case, polish the finish or disturb the dial at home. Have leather condition and spring-bar seating checked before wear.
