Important Note
Due to the age and nature of vintage automatic mechanical movements, timekeeping performance may vary and may not meet the accuracy standards of modern quartz watches.
Unless specifically stated otherwise, vintage watches are not pressure-tested and should not be assumed to be water-resistant despite markings on the case back.
All measurements are approximate. Please examine all photographs carefully before purchase, as they form an important part of the condition description.
