The watch is a used (vintage) piece, therefore minor scratches or signs of use may occur. The wristwatches are tested for 48 hours, and we only put them up for bid if we do not experience any problems, however, since these wristwatches are more than 70-80 years old, we cannot guarantee the precise operation of the movement. Please bid with this in mind! Fast, insured shipping. Please check my feedback – customer satisfaction is the most important for me. There is no customs duty or other tax within the European Union.
