Other details
We have not seen many decimal scale 20CH in the past. From the shape of the back cover, it seems to be a water proof model in the last days. The crown, chrono pushers, and hands are probably original. The hour and minute hands are a little rusty and the long hand is missing a small part of luminous. The shine of the Dial is waning, but there is no big noticeable scratch or stain burn, on the contrary, it is better to say that it is discolored with good texture and taste. When the chrono is not running, it ticks around 20 seconds per day, but when the chrono is running, there seems to be a rare problem (the chrono hand stops) around 12 o'clock. I don't feel any problem in resetting. Probably, it will be fine adjustment.
