COLLECTOR’S CONDITION & MECHANICAL PERFORMANCE:
This timepiece is part of a long-term private collection. It was previously professionally serviced by a master watchmaker, but has remained in storage for a significant period without regular use.
Pre-shipment Check: Before packing, I personally verify that the movement starts easily, runs steadily, and that the time-setting functions work correctly.
Accuracy Disclaimer (Please Read):
As with all vintage mechanical watches kept in long-term storage, the original lubricants may have aged or thickened over time. Therefore, I do not guarantee modern chronometer-level accuracy.
The watch is sold in "Running" condition, but it may run slightly fast or slow (within or slightly outside vintage tolerances). Precision can also be affected by the vibrations and temperature changes during international transit. A routine professional adjustment or "oil refresh" by your local watchmaker may be required to achieve your desired timekeeping standards.
Sold "As-Is" regarding daily precision. By purchasing, you acknowledge that vintage mechanical movements are sensitive instruments that may require fine-tuning upon arrival.
Authentic vintage. Serviced in the past, long-term storage. Runs and sets correctly. Accuracy not guaranteed due to age and storage; may need minor regulation.
At the buyer's request, I can put a new strap on the watch for an additional fee.
This watch is not new, it is many years old. The watch shows signs of wear, there may be scuffs and minor scratches, so look carefully at the pictures and video before you buy this item.
The Pictures and video are also part of the description, any defects or details shown in the pictures and video will be considered disclosed.
Please note that you are buying exactly what you see in the pictures and video and nothing else. Do not demand what was not in the pictures and video and what should not be.
All my watches undergo mandatory testing by a watchmaker before being ship to the buyer.
I do not ship my watches to the customers until my watchmaker has checked the functionality of the watch. I ship only watches in working condition to my buyers.
Attention. I ship watch in working condition and checked by a watchmaker. Please check the watch upon receipt in the presence of a postal service employee, because the watch may be damaged during shipment. Very often, vintage watches that are several decades old are damaged during shipment as a result of rough handling of the parcel, parcels are thrown and dropped almost always. No one can guarantee that this will not happen to the watch you bought, including me. The cost of the watch is always insured upon shipment. If your watch is damaged, please demand compensation from the postal service.
Please feel free to make me an offer if you are interested in my watch.
