I had a very minimal restoration (light cleaning and 2 pc stem) done and have left the patina in the condition I found it. Overall watch is in very nice working condition for its age. I do not believe the band to be original and may have been added in possibly the 40′s. Watch Band is Vintage Lenox (hallmark is Lenox inside a triangle) Ladies Black Cord butterfly clasp Watch Band. Under Lupe magnification there is what appears to be a small hairline crack on face running from second hand to between VIII and IX.
