IN GOOD ORIGINAL CONDITION.A WATCH FOR THE COLLECTOR, OR THE VALJOUX CHRONO ENTHUSIAST.CASE:This is a lovely 2 piece screw back stainless steel and gold plated/tone ROUND case. It is in excellent original condition, showing as you would expect some plating wear and light scratches and nibbles to the case edges here and there. The case is marked to the back with all the usual claims about waterproofness and antimagnetic etc. Unusually this case back is numbered 2100. The case back SCREWS on as it should. This is a lovely original chronograph watch case. The case measures a large 3.8cms (38mm) across excluding the crown and pushers. DIAL:This superb watch has the most lovely 'Panda' dial.

Vintage watches are not for wearing while doing yard work, working out, or swimming.Vintage watches cannot keep time like their quartz cousins and will need altering on average between +-2 to +-5 mins per day. They are a little more destructible than modern watches. Vintage watches also require periodic service and cleaning. Every couple of years, they would like their 20,000 mile checkup, oil change, and general service.
