Case Details The case is in pretty good shape. The release works as it should, all lids close and stay seated as they should. The front cover opens to 90 degrees but the spring needs replacing as it want to close to about 60 degrees instead of staying at 90 like it should. There are a few dents and scratches and its been buffed so much that the cartouche is all but gone. None the less its a nice coin silver hunter case and it has had a new crystal installed. To be honest hunter cases are a pain especially with a KW/KS, every time i have to set it i hate to open the dial cover these damn thin curved crystals are too fragile for my liking.
