Like a car, a mechanical watch will require periodic maintenance by an expert watchmaker. Therefore, unless it is specified that the watch was serviced recently, a maintenance service is advised. This is valid for every vintage watch, not just this one. Working condition: The watch is ready to wear. It starts immediately when wound. Winding is smooth. Runs very strong. Time setting is smooth. All the chronograph functions are OK. The chronograph was put to work for more than 12 hours and it has never stopped. To get you a clearer picture of how the watch will behave, I do the following home testing: I manually wind the watch, even if the watch has automatic wind, and test it against a watch that I know is correct. For this I purpose I use a web page that provides the exact time. I check the deviation after 12 and 24 hours. The result after 12 hours for this watch in May of 2016 - 09 seconds. After 24 hours: -02 seconds and in January of 2017: after 12h -02s and after 24h + 11s These simple home tests are not a warranty of repeatability or accuracy. Actually wearing the watch in the wrist will get you different results for sure. No matter how good the test results may look, the watch is sold as is, without any sort of warranty. Please note: 1 - The watch should not be used in the water! All diving watches, even recent, should be sent for a qualified water sealing service each year prior to diving season. 2 - Any acrylic or metallic display that might appear in the pictures is not included in the sale!

Photos are not retouched or edited to mask defects. Please take time to enlarge the all the photos for the clearest, largest images.
