Serviced means disassembly, cleaning, reassembling, reoiled and timed, accuracy is plus or minus 15 seconds when new, when servicing I usually spend a week or two setting the accuracy and tried to get them within 10 seconds a day or better  before listing on ebay, which is pretty good for a vintage (40-80 Year old)  watch, purchase from an estate sale, These watches are used and will have your normal nicks, scuffs and scratches from being worn, some will have pitting or loss of plating, some are like brand new, I try to take the best pictures possible to show the condition so please look at the pictures and judge for yourself, although most are fairly accurate I do not guarantee accuracy but if noticably fast or slow will state in description, I do not Guarantee the water resistant rating they have not been tested, priced to sell No Reserve or make me an offer.
