Klepacki noted #56699 - I do not know what significance that might mean. The winding mechanism winds smoothly:neither overwound or loose.When wound, the hands begin their circuits with no visible lag.The ticking of the mechanism is clearly audible.It is remarkable that the piece is still running.The watch shows it’s nearly 90-year age in that the crystal has clouded, has some scratching and the numerals have faded from navy blue to black.There is also a brownish, small circular discoloration on the lower left. According to the website GalletWorld, this is one of the rarer timepieces and is valued there at $5-5500.00 Thank you for looking.NO international shipping - an international purchase will be cancelled.PAYMENTS - Major Credit Card/PayPal ONLY.
