Recently I was able to visit a friend and watchmaker down in Florida.  He has had a thriving watch repair business there since the early 1960s.  He has decided it is time to "thin" out some of his watches that he had in the shop.  One of his favorite watches to work on is early American Gents watches.  I was able to buy several of these very clean watches from his collection to offer here ( actually, there are a few that I just couldn't let go off :-)  Here are some specifics about this watch:

Brand: Vulcain Watch Co.

Model: 17 Jewels

Running Condition: This watch does run. *

Case Composition: Base metal with stainless steel back

Case Dimensions including lugs, but not including crown: 41mm X 34mm

Band Composition: Canvas 

Useable Length: This watch and band combination can work for wrists up to 8 1/4 inches in circumference.  Of course, this can easily be changed by changing out the watch band.

 Condition/Notes: This is a very nice men's watch. 

* Denotes current condition.  The service history of this watch is unknown to me unless I state otherwise.  Therefore you should expect to service this watch if you are a responsible collector.  Often times these watches have been forgotten in a jeweler's desk or in a back room for 30 plus years.  I like to save them from that demise and get them back into the hands of collectors.  It doesn't take very long for the old gummy oil to stop a movement from running ( many times just a week or so ) or even worse if the oil is dried out it might not take too long for the watch to grind itself up inside.  This is not specific to my watches, but to all that have not been serviced in the last few years. For this reason, we only wind a watch a few turns to verify if it will go through the paces, so please understand I can only tell you if the watch is running here.  I am not putting a guarantee on the performance of a watch in regards to timing or longevity.

 Thanks for looking. Please take a look at all the other watches and parts I have this week and weeks to come as well as my store inventory. I am telling you this, because I will gladly combine / reduce shipping whenever possible. No international bidders without prior approval. International shipments must be sent registered mail and insured. Please feel free to ask questions or request additional pictures. All watches and clocks are tested at the time of listing and rechecked when shipping and video recorded for condition documentation. The post office can be unkind to vintage timepieces during shipment. Because of this, I package items better than necessary to ensure a positive experience. No International bidders without prior approval. All international shipments must be registered and insured. No Customs fees are included in the shipping quotes I give. Also, I cannot be liable for delays at customs checkpoints. No Shipments to Italy ( sorry ) or any other country that is on our No Ship list. Thanks for looking and have a great day
