PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING:
This watch is part of an estate I purchased
While many are running, it is important to understand that over the years the oil has possibly gotten gummy or even dried out.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU CONSIDER HAVING THE WATCH CLEANED/OILED/SERVICED TO MAINTAIN ITS VALUE AND EXTEND ITS LIFE
I can only tell you if the watch is running here.
I am not putting a guarantee on the performance of a watch in regard to timing or longevity.
