cosmetics

My eyesight does not allow me anymore to see at naked eye any relevant defects. My written description concerning cosmetics is based in the high magnification pictures I provide. Please check them in a computer screen, as I am not sure that a mobile phone display can give you all the details that you can see in a big full HD screen.

dial: looks in very good condition, with homogeneous patine - see the pictures and make your own opinion.

hands: the hands are in very good condition - see the pictures and make your own opinion.

case: It is in excellent condition - see the pictures and make your own opinion.

Movement: finish of the movement is OK. I would say very good condition - see the pictures and make your own opinion.

The crystal: is Plexiglas / plastic and it is in excellent condition. It has no ugly scratches, no cracking and no glazing - see the pictures and make your own opinion.

Inside the watch:

Swiss made manual wind Eterna movement, Rhodium or Chromium finished.

other:

The watch is signed: on the dial, in the case and in the mechanism.

The brand new nylon bracelet is a gift that goes with the watch. This Nato type bracelet is adjustable to pratically every wrist size and, due to its ingenious conception. It has a security feature that prevents the watch from falling of your wrist even if one spring bar jumps out.

Service history:

1 - The movement was subject to CLA job (cleaning, lubrication and adjustment) by a trusted watchmaker in 20 19 .

For those of you who might not know what a C.L.A. job means, it involves the disassembling of the watch mechanism and having it cleaned in a specific machine with special liquids to remove dry oil and dirt. Afterwards the movement is lubricated with the proper oils and adjusted after being tested in a vibrograf machine. In practical terms it means that you can use the watch every day without fear that the lack of lubrication wears the movement pieces. Just that.

If it is not stated that the watch has been serviced recently (less than 5 years) you would better consider a revision by an expert watchmaker, no matter how good the test results may look. This applies to any vintage watch in the same condition, not only this one.

Working condition:

Starts immediately when wound, winding is smooth, runs strong. Time setting is smooth. Has worked for more than 24 hours without stopping.

These simple home tests is not a warranty of repeatability or accuracy.

No matter how good these simple 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.

Remember that seeing the item at very high magnification, as in the pictures that I provide, brings to life small defects that the human eye does not perceive. That is why many people will like even more the watch after seeing it for real.

Please take a look at my other auctions and at my excellent feedback!

Condition: Please refer to the pictures for a complete perception of the item’s condition. This will be more precise and effective than my eyesight or judgment.

All pictures are of the actual item. Photos are not retouched or edited to mask defects. Please take time to enlarge the all the photos for the clearest, largest images. Photos usually disclose the condition much better than a written description as many people have a different idea on what words or terms may mean. If an identifying mark or defect is visible on the photo it is considered disclosed to the buyer.

If you don’t see it in the pictures and it is not mentioned in the description, then it is not included in the auction!

International Buyers - important notes 

  • This item is located in the European Community so there are no taxes for countries inside the European Community.
  • I mport duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility and are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up. Do not confuse them with additional shipping charges. Please note that if the item is returned to me because the buyer refused to pay taxes or didn't take any necessary action, the total cost of shipping will be deducted from the refund.

  • I advise you to check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding.
  • Before bidding, make certain that the item offered in this auction does not in any way violate international laws, customs or postage restrictions of your country.

Registered Shipping by CTT

Please read this as it gives you detailed information concerning shipping, insurance, tracking and time to arrive to your country.

Insurance for loss

Insurance for loss is included at a cost of 2% of item's value for Europe. Insurance will be provided by a third party, not by the post, since I couldn’t find a courier that insures collectibles, precious objects and watches.

Tracking

Registered shipping (requiring your signature upon reception) can be tracked directly from the eBay page provided that you are in Japan or in a European Community country .

Some countries might not provide the tracking feature. Please check with your country postal office beforehand as I cannot have this information. In any case the shipping can be always be traced if anything goes wrong.

Important note concerning expected time of arrival: under normal circumstances, in the European Community zone , the package is due to arrive in 10 to 22 business days. Outside the Euro countries it will take considerably more days due to longer distance, grouping of parcels and customs bureaucracy. Usually 27 to 4 5 days, a few times less than that, depending of your country.

Due to tracking failure, shipping to all countries outside Europe will have to be by FEDEX,   sorry for that.

1 - Please note that shipping costs include safe and careful packing.

2 - Combined shipping will be applied on purchase invoices. This means that you would not pay shipping for each item although the cost of shipping will increase, because the cost of shipping is, of course, weight related.

By buying or making an offer you agree with all that is stated above.

Please skip this auction/sale if you don't agree with everything or if you disagree with something that is stated, thanks!
