Condition Report:
- Cosmetic Condition: The watch is in good, honest vintage condition. The cushion case shows minor surface scratches and wear consistent with age. The acrylic crystal has some light scratches and fine hairline marks (mostly near the top edge), which is expected for its age. The blue dial is remarkably clean with vibrant colors. The original signed crown shows some authentic gold-tone wear/patina. The caseback has visible minor scratches from previous openings, but the triangle logo and the serial number 3403810 remain perfectly crisp, sharp, and legible.
- Movement Condition: Clean, authentic, and fully functional. The watch is currently running and keeping time, with the date changing properly. As captured in the macro photos, the balance wheel is actively oscillating and the movement runs strongly. As with all vintage mechanical timepieces, a professional service is always recommended for long-term daily precision.
Shipping & Handling:
- Carefully packed in a protective box and shipped with a tracking number.

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.
