Please observe the pictures and make your own evaluation!
Remember that seeing the item at very high magnification, as in the pictures that I provide, brings to life small defects that the human eye does not perceive. That is why many people will like even more the item after seeing it for real.
Please note that the watch should not be used in the water! All diving watches, even recent, should be sent for a qualified water sealing service each year prior to diving season.
Condition: Please refer to the pictures for a complete perception of the item’s condition. This will be more precise and effective than my eyesight or judgment.
All pictures are of the actual item. Photos are not retouched or edited to mask defects. Please take time to enlarge the all the photos for the clearest, largest images. Photos usually disclose the condition much better than a written description as many people have a different idea on what words or terms may mean. If an identifying mark or defect is visible on the photo it is considered disclosed to the buyer.
If you don’t see it in the pictures and it is not mentioned in the description, then it is not included in the auction!
International Buyers - important notes
This item is located in the European Community so there are no taxes for countries inside the European Community.
Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility and are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up. Do not confuse them with additional shipping charges. Please note that if the item is returned to me because the buyer refused to pay taxes or didn't take any necessary action, the total cost of shipping will be deducted from the refund.
I advise you to check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding.
Before bidding, make certain that the item offered in this auction does not in any way violate international laws, customs or postage restrictions of your country.
Shipping
Please read this as it gives you detailed information concerning shipping, insurance, tracking and time to arrive to your country.
Tracking
Registered shipping (requiring your signature upon reception) can be tracked directly from the eBay page provided that you are in a European Community country and some other European countries.
Important note concerning expected time of arrival: under normal circumstances, in the European Community zone, the package is due to arrive in 10 to 22 business days. Outside the Euro countries it will take considerably more days due to longer distance, grouping of parcels and customs bureaucracy. Usually 27 to 45 days, a few times less than that, depending of your country.
To all other countries, due to tracking failure, shipping has to be expedited.
1 - Please note that shipping costs include safe and careful packing.
2 - Combined shipping will be applied on purchase invoices. This means that you would not pay shipping for each item although the cost of shipping will increase, because the cost of shipping is, of course, weight related.
Make sure you have read all the text and observed the pictures before buying.
By buying you agree with all that is stated above.
