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.
