The case has light surface marks from use and a mild unevenness to the back although it is in nice condition for a 1901 piece.

The watch lens is glass and is in nice condition with only the odd minor mark.

The dial is signed Reid & Sons, Newcastle upon Tyne. The dial has faint hairline cracks but otherwise it is in nice condition.
