NEEDS SERVICE TO RUN

This watch is part of an estate I purchased.

There were many watches and they had been stored since the 1990's

While many are running, it is important to understand that over the years the oil has possibly gotten gummy or even dried out.

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU CONSIDER HAVING THE WATCH CLEANED/OILED/SERVICED TO MAINTAIN ITS VALUE AND EXTEND ITS LIFE

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.
