Clearly seen some moosture, but the case seems to be in very nice shape, all the corners are quite sharp. Original branded crown too.

I'm worried about IPA damaging the already fragile looking dial. I've learnt to not use anything but water on dial fearing damage.

    I've never seen IPA put anything but fats and greases into solution. I like IPA because it's hardly a stronger solvent than water (do not estimate how strong a polar solvent especially distilled/demineralized water is!) and no risk of corrosion.
