PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU BID: The watch of this auction is in OUTSTANDING+ condition. This means that this watch has been sold and worn. It would typically have been worn for a period of time and have surface scratches, and show wear in accordance with its age. This watch would have been well cared for, be in excellent running condition and having no damage outside of the normal wear you might expect. It would retain the appearance of a watch that had been worn for a short period of time and been extremely well cared for during that time and in perfect running condition. I am a member of NAWCC and IWJG and do my absolute best to take high-resolution pictures that accurately depict the actual condition of the item. To supplement the pictures, I go to great lengths to provide detailed and thorough descriptions to further specify the actual condition of each item I offer. I do not represent items to be new if they are not. If you are considering bidding on an item that is NOT described as being new, you cannot expect it to be in pristine, new condition. If that is important to you, I recommend you visit your local retailer and be prepared to pay full-price. My phone number is listed below. If you have ANY questions, please call me BEFORE you bid.

International Buyers - Please Note:
Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.
Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying.
We cannot undervalue items to save you on customs fees. Not only is this illegal and against Ebay policies, it inhibits our ability to insure the item properly. If it were to be lost, you would expect a full refund and we would take a total loss. We cannot self-insure packages to be sent around the world, so please do not ask.
All items are shipped full-insured via the most economical method available. Some countries do not allow shipments of watches via USPS. In those countries we cannot use USPS and have to use Fed Ex or UPS. I understand this is more expensive, but I cannot afford to lose my products and not be reimbursed. If you have questions, go to http://pe.usps.gov/text/imm/welcome.htm and search for your country. If watches cannot be shipped via USPS in some trackable manner, then we will have to use Fed Ex or UPS. If this does not work for you then DO NOT BID!
*THIS BEING RE-LISTED DUE TO A NON-PAYING BIDDER, NOT A RETURN. IF YOU CAN'T PAY, DO NOT BID. IT IS VERY SIMPLE!! ANYONE WHO DOES WILL RECEIVE A NON-PAYMENT STRIKE FROM EBAY. NO EXCEPTIONS**
