Uses
no battery, uses wearer's wrist motion to power the movement.
Depending on the level of activity, it will keep running for up to a couple
of days after wearer takes it off their wrist.
This is a fixed price listing with "best offer" option.
Please note regarding
quality-control and warranty. Every watch was timed on an electronic
calibration machine at the factory and performed within the set limits
of +- 45-second / day in accuracy. This was years ago. Before listing
this watch, we left it on a bench watch-winder for three 24-hour periods
and found that it remains within 45-seconds per day accurate (sometimes
better). However, this is not an exact science because when a person
wears a watch, the angles of the unit will be different than they are on
the work-bench. This shouldn't matter very much but it might matter to
the extent that the watch passed our 45-second/day test but might be as
much as 1-minute per day fast or slow when you wear it.
*** These watches
can be thrown out of their normal accuracy by dropping them. A short drop
may do nothing but generally, a drop onto a hard surface from above two
feet high may disrupt the accuracy of the watch and if high enough, it
may damage the watch's delicate mechanism. ***
We
warranty this watch against all defects for a period of 90 days after
receipt but this is an informal warranty and there will be no separate
paperwork on it. This includes a warranty that the accuracy will be
within 1-minute a day (+-). There is an internal adjusting screw which
can speed up or slow down the movement. If returned to us under the
warranty for accuracy issues, please allow us 1-2 weeks to repair (often
adjust) and return your watch because we would need to test it
extensively after the repair. If we are unable to repair it, we may
send you a brand new replacement (same item) at our option or, if all
else fails, we would refund your purchase price in full and keep the
defective watch. Buyer would pay to return the watch to us and we would pay to
send it back after repair. This is also the case with new items being
returned for refund.
*** IN BOTH CASES, A
RETURN AUTHORIZATION IS REQUIRED BEFORE SHIPPING ANYTHING BACK TO US ***
This can be obtained by contacting us through eBay messaging. We will
provide exact instructions.
For new items
being returned for
refund: Buyer has 14 calendar days after receipt to request a return
authorization and another 5 business days to ship the item back to us
after we provide the R/A number and instructions. We please need
3-business days to process the return before issuing refund. ***WE ONLY
ACCEPT BRAND NEW ITEMS FOR REFUND***. There should be no visible sign
of use on the item being returned for refund. Therefore, we can only
accept a used watch back for repair if defective. Thanks.
If
the item arrives damaged or not as described: This is very rare but
buyer should contact us within 3 business days after receipt to request a
refund and provide us with photos. If the package was damaged in
transit, please send photos of the damaged package through eBay
messaging. If we messed up on the description, we would send a pre-paid
return label.

The original gift boxes have become "unglued" over all this time. If we can not find a branded gift box in good shape (Auguste Galan) then we will send with a nice vinyl gift box with no brand marking the box. There
are no printed instructions but these are easy to operate.
