WATCH IS RUNNING AND KEEPING TIME

This is a true vintage wrist watch that has been stored away for many years. Because of its age, the service history is unknown.The watch is currently running (see video), but vintage wrist-watch movements can stop, slow down, or develop any type of issue at any time without warning, especially if they have not had a recent service. This is completely normal for older mechanical watches. The watch will eventually need a professional clean, oil, and adjust (COA) to keep it running reliably and accurately.  Shipping can affect these old watches despite how well packed they are (see below).

Please Note:

Old pocket watches and wrist watches are delicate and inherently more prone to mechanical issues. Due to their age and intricate construction, these timepieces can stop working at any time, even after careful testing and description. We recommend considering this factor when purchasing, as these watches may require servicing or repairs to ensure continued functionality. We strive to provide accurate descriptions and detailed information about each item, but please understand that vintage watches are sold as-is and may need professional attention to maintain optimal performance unless otherwise stated.  If recently serviced I will state so.  If running properly, while in my possession, I will say so. If not running properly, I will also say so. If not running at all, I will say so. There are certainly times when a watch is running while in my possession, and then once received, there may be an issue. Please see below.

Shipping old pocket watches and wrist watches comes with several risks that can impact their condition. These delicate timepieces are often sensitive to vibrations, temperature fluctuations, and handling during transit. The risks include:

  1. Physical Damage: Vibrations and shocks during shipping can cause internal components to shift or become misaligned, leading to mechanical issues or even complete failure of the watch.

  2. Temperature and Humidity Changes: Variations in temperature and humidity can affect the lubricants and materials inside the watch, potentially causing rust, corrosion, or the degradation of delicate parts.

  3. Handling Risks: Improper handling or packaging can result in scratches, dents, or other cosmetic damage to the watch's case or crystal.

    To mitigate these risks, we use high-quality, shock-absorbent packaging, ensure the watch is securely cushioned, and choose a reliable shipping service with insurance options. Proper preparation and care in handling can help protect these valuable and cherished timepieces during transit which we do.

    Please see my feedback, this typically is not an issue.
