THIS IS A VINTAGE WATCH AND IT IS SOLD AS IS as found in the estate... Mens Vintage Waltham 65 Selfwinding Incabloc 35mm x 38mm (with crown) x 44mm (lug to lug) and 18mm lugs stainless case with stainless steel expandable bracelet and original case Tested for 24 hours - still keeping time, service and timing is strongly recommended since last date of service is unknown I don't know when it was last serviced. I can not guarantee that it will stay running without being cleaned and oiled.In the 60's and 70's various watch companies participated in the "jewel wars" -- they loaded up certain "elite" or "high-end"models with as many jewels as they could either justify (by technical means) or "get away with" to make their offering look superior to their competitors offerings. Some of these efforts were "meaningful" ... adding more cap jewels, jeweling various arbors not normally jeweled...some efforts were somewhat marginal ... adding jewels to rotor hubs - really does make for a quiet auto-wind operation!! ... but may not really reduce friction more than the typical metal ball bearing laden rotor hubs...some efforts could be considered trivial .... adding jewels to the rotor "travel path" to inhibit "rotor scrape", etc.I have no technical details on the Waltham 65 Jewels from experts anywhere, but the last picture here seem to indicate that the vast jewel count was accomplished with a similar strategy in one area - jewels in a ring around the movement plates which are intended to prevent "rotor scrape"...now, this one has gold plated case/bezel and bull horns ornate lugs and stainless steel case back, check all pictures please they are an integral part of this listing...This watch is in original condition, the dial is untouched, the case has not been polished and the crystal shows ageing and scratches, on the ivory dial it is found: Waltham 65, self-winding incabloc, swiss, on the back: automatic, , 10k RGP Bezel, PL in a double circle, stainless steel back, waterproof, shock resistant. THE WATCH HAS 65 JEWELS - GOLD PLATED 10 K R.G.P. BEZEL, USED CONDITION WITH SCRATCHES, GOLD SPEIDEL STRETCH BAND AND ORIGINAL BOX.

I sell mainly USED vintage watches and therefore have not been checked for timing accuracy unless stated, even though watch may be running - it may keep time well or it may need cleaning which is always recommended on mechanical watches to do annually even if running fine. Most of my items have BEST OFFER which is different than auction format. I will usually wait a day or two to see if any other REASONABLE offers come in before deciding on accepting or declining it so please be patient. If you really want something please let me know by making a REASONABLE best offer or at least place it on your watch list. 95% of deadbeats I've experienced have 0 feedback so PLEASE NO NEWBIE BIDDERS WITH ZERO FEEDBACK FROM OUTSIDE USA WITHOUT PRIOR AUTHORIZATION BY EMAIL OTHERWISE YOUR BID IS SUBJECT TO CANCELLATION!
