Thanks for reading my listing.   Teddy 07563142778   * I rate the condition of all items on a scale out of 10. If i mark a watch as 10/10 this means the watch is in unworn condition complete with all manuals, box, and manufacturers warranty (details of which will be specified in the description). For older watches I may choose to mark them as 10/10 if they are in immaculate condition. If a watch is marked as 9/10 this generally means the box and papers have been misplaced or the watch may be a little below the 'immaculate' standard. 'Unworn' applies to a item that was recently purchased new and has not been worn. Please remember this watch is 45 years old.
