The watch is in great condition from what i can tell. I think it could even be cleaned up very easily to make it look even better but i am not a watch person and do not want to attempt to do anything to it that could cause harm. I think it looks and functions perfectly as-is. Look at all the pictures and ask any questions you have before purchasing. I am using the Make Offer option also. This will make a great early Christmas Present and anyone will be proud to have one of these Rare watches from the war in their collection. I will ship in a Medium box Prioritybox with bubble wrapping. I combine shipping also Thanks
