Properly serviced by us and ready to wear, this watch looks amazing on the wrist and would make a great gift!! All of this at a great price, do not miss out on this one!Collecting vintage watches is a great hobby, but please understand what you are buying:*Vintage watches are not meant to be submerged in water or be exposed to moisture regardless of their original moisture resistance claims. These are desirable collectibles now, and deserve to be treated as such. If you want a watch to dive with, wash dishes while wearing, or shower with it is best to buy a new watch that would be more easily replaced if damage occurs*Mechanical watches need power to run accurately. This means: -A mechanical manual wind watch needs to be wound fully every 24 hours, usually before putting on in the morning -A mechanical automatic watch needs to be fully wound before putting on initially (usually around 20 full winds of the crown), and then as long as you are sufficiently active and wear it long enough each day your movement will keep it wound up during the day and help it to run accurately overnight until you put it on the next day and it begins to wind itself back up to full power. If you do not wear it enough, or have a sedentary lifestyle then additional winding may be required for accuracy*The pictures are part of the description*Do not just assume things that are not in the auction description.
