Pre-Owned Vintage Pocket Watch
You are viewing one of vintage/pre-owned watches in my collection. The following is a general description for pocket watches. For specific condition of this particular watch, please carefully read "Seller Note" under "Item Specifics" above.
This watch is CURRENTLY ticking. However, due to the nature of used/vintage watch, we can't guarantee long term functionality and accuracy.
Watch dimension and size: please review the last image for size measurements. Shown on caliper is the approximate watch width in mm without crown or button.
As an used vintage item in general, you may expect to see some dirt, scratches, discoloration, deplating, and/or other forms of wear here and there, and the extent of wear varies from watch to watch and is a matter of personal opinion. So it is very important for you to zoom in and carefully review all images to make your own assessment. ALL IMAGES ARE IMPORTANT PART OF THIS DESCRIPTION. You will get get what you see.
THIS IS A RATHER GENERIC DESCRIPTION. Please read the entire text in "seller note" of "Item Specifics" section for specific information on this watch and carefully review all images to make your own judgment on cosmetic condition which I believe is a matter of personal opinion.
Please do not hesitate to ask if you have any questions.
Important: the gender classified is strictly my own opinion. The band length does NOT determine gender of a watch. It can be difficult to classify some watches as they may have mens size but lady's style, or they may appear small for men but big for women. Therefore, it is very important to make you own assessment on the gender based on style and size shown in the images.
For approximate size of the watch and length of band, please see the last image with a ruler scale placed next tho the watch.
Important - customer satisfaction is always our first priority. We strive to list items accurately. But errors could happen sometimes. Please be assured that we will take the item back and issue full refund if the item you receive is not "as described" - no question asked.
We would appreciate it if you do not leave neutral or negative feedback before contacting me for a resolution. Good eBay rating is important for us to offer the lowest prices and provide the best customer services. Again, I will take care of any issues and problems with "customer satisfaction" in mind.
Please make payment within 3 days of auction end. Thanks. Ebay will automatically open a non-payment case on the 4th day.

General Notes for Vintage Watches - Please Read
Unless otherwise noted, all watches we sell have been tested to be in good working condition. They keep accurate time currently. However, due to vintage nature of the watches we sell, as a general rule we can't guarantee their long term accuracy. Typically, for quartz watch, if it runs, it will run pretty accurately. For mechanical wind up watches, on the other hand, regular and routing services and maintenance by professional watch makers are always needed for accurate time-keeping.
Some watches, especially those with leather bands, may have certain smells inherited from their previous owners such perfumes, body mists, or even storage. Although these smells will fade out soon or late, they might not be suitable for particularly smell-sensitive buyers. We do try to avoid listing the items with strong smells. However, due the nature of used items, we can't 100% guarantee all watches are smell-less.
Unless otherwise noted, all batteries in the quartz and electric watches we sell are replaced recently. However, due to various reasons and in very rare cases (but could happen!), a battery could become drained within short period of time. If this occurs, it is buyer's responsibility to replace the battery. However, in the "Dead on Arrival" battery situation, we may, at our discretion, send you the replacement battery.
All vintage and used watches are expected to show certain wear, from "hard to see" to light to significant. Such wear is particularly common on leather bands if equipped, which could be significant in some watches. We try to take clear pictures for each watch we offer to sell. It is important to review all images attached to listing to make your own judgment on the cosmetic condition of the watch.
We make sure all watches we ship out are in good running condition unless otherwise noted. However, in very rare cases, movement mechanism of a vintage watch may get stuck while being thrown around in transit. This could cause the watch to stop running. If this is to happen, a "jump start" may become necessary. Here are how to "jump start" a watch: 1. pull crown all the out and turn 2-3 rounds; 2. hold the watch sideways, firmly and repeatedly tap the non-crown side against a wood surface.
This is a wind-up mechanical watch. It most likely will not be running upon arrival. Unlike battery-powered timepieces, any wind-up watches DON'T work until being properly wound. To sufficiently wind a hand-winding watch, please turn the crown in its original position for 10-15 rounds or until it becomes tight. To wind a self-winding or automatic watch, please shake it firmly and repeatedly for 20 to 30 times and keep it in motion by wearing it for an extended time. In certain cases when a watch has not run for a while, you may also need to tap it firmly and repeated against a wood surface to initiate gears after properly winding.
About water resistance/proof: the water resistance rating, if any, is based on manufacturer's marking, not actual test. We do not suggest to use any used watches in submerged environment such as swimming or shower due to the fact that gasket rubber could become aging and harden when old.
