ATTENTION !!! Grab it fast !!! It may never come back in my stock !!! Those are limited editions/collections and/or very old !!! Don't want to hear questions like ,,what happened with the watch/model/item? it was there a minute ago". The answer will be ,,somebody else snatched it" or ,,I sold it through other channels" !!!
BENEFITS !!! Buying the watch from me will bring you on the long term, besides the satisfaction of owning an superb timepiece, free dedicated technical support: need an extra link? I can try and locate it; broke the mineral/sapphire crystal glass? will search the best one for your watch; any other problems/advice about the watch or watches and movements in general? message me and will do my best to help you, since you are my customer and Bimmer friend.
FREE SHIPPING !!! IT DOES NOT EXIST !!! Whenever you see a seller that uses this 2 cents marketing strategy, avoid him, unless he is the only one with that item. Be sure, that when he set up his price on the item, the ,,free shipping" was included in the final price. I prefer to buy from an honest seller, then from a lying one !!! I respect my customers and that is why I don't use, as a rule, the ,,free shipping". You will see me use it, only on a few items as a discount tool !!!
LIGHT !!! All the pictures of my items are made under natural light !!! IT IS VERY IMPORTANT !!! Under artificial light the real color is distorted and some defects ,,are not seen" !!! My buyers are smart, they won't fall for the old trick with extra light !!!
Water Resistance
....a never-ending source of misunderstandings often caused by the irresponsible advertising of certain competitors, who are usually the ones to refuse any responsibility when damage by water occurs.
Here are the facts in plain English:
1. Every known brand submits the watch to a 2-phase test in a chamber, where it has to withstand to pressure for the minimum length of time required by industrial standards. It may seem a paradox, but low pressure-resistance, say at 0.5 bar equivalent to 50 cm depth is more critical to achieve, because increasing pressure tends to compress the seals, thereby increasing the resistance; the second phase test conducted at 3 bar (30 m.) is confirmatory.
Because of a solid case-construction, the known brands watches will resist to 10 bar (100 m. or 300 ft) and we could confidently call it a «diver’s watch»
2. HOWEVER:
The water resistance of a wristwatch is constantly challenged by mechanical wear caused by bumps, shocks etc., rapid changes in temperature, caustic acids, chemicals, etc. and can therefore not be guaranteed as a permanent condition.
I renounces to using inflationary «theoretical» claims; the decision to wear your valuable timepiece for swimming, diving or in the Sauna is yours.
On a side-note: Only very few specially trained and equipped divers reach depths of 100 m and wear professional computers to indicate the life-saving compression- and decompression data; at such depths, normal watches will just not do.
Please review the pictures carefully. They are part of the description. I try my best to provide accurate descriptions and pictures, but occasionally I miss something. Ask before buying, not after. I will consider that you accepted my terms and description.
If you are looking for a specific model and I don't have it listed, please ask me. I may have it in my collection or I can find it for you.
I mainly sell vintage watches. They MAY have flaws associated with age (leather is the culprit), and are not perfect. Please review the pictures carefully. They are part of the description. I try my best to provide accurate descriptions and pictures, but occasionally I miss something.
I am always happy to combine shipping on multiple items, so please take a look at my other watches / items !!!
I love all of my buyers, but:
I find it, clean it, research it, purchase boxes, peanuts, tissue, bubble wrap and pay both ebay and Paypal fees. My shipping charges cover tracking number and insures your package (just in case of bad luck). I will mark the package as a gift. Unfortunately, I cannot afford to offer free shipping and still stay in business.
Shipping is clearly stated and I make no profit on it. If that does not rate 5 stars, perhaps I am not the seller for you.
Estimated delivery time after item shipped:
EUROPE 3-5 business days
REST OF WORLD 7-14 business days
I ship within 3 business days of your payment (I am studying, which is a the 1st priority for me before everything, including ebay). Please don't hold me responsible for the carriers performance.
Returns: I don't accept returns. Why? All my watches are carefully tested by myself or are part of my collection. They work perfectly. I am looking for the customer who knows what I sell and knows what he wants to buy. I don't have too many feedback's but all are 100% positive, from all over the world !!!
Payment is required within 2 days of our notification of the total due.
Thanks for looking and buying a great and unique watch/model. Have a great day !!!
