Vintage 10K rolled gold plate Clinton men's wristwatch, running within a few minutes a day, if I had more time than watches I would like to clean it, but I do have more watches than time. If you would like me to clean it, it would be another $120 PAID IN ADVANCE! I will give a refund if I can not get it timed to 40 sec a day or if it takes me more than 4 months.
Very beautiful rose like colored dial.

When timing I don't reset every day. When I reset it I write RS for reset. After reset I will try and write how long it ran for. If on time I will put OT down. If 1 minute fast I put +1. If the next day it does not lose anytime I still add +1 because it was not reset. If the time is way off I will write WO. If a day is missed I will write DO.
Satisfaction guaranteed!

I graduated from the Bulova school of watchmaking in Oct 1978,
I got my certification from the Minnesota board of examiners in watchmaking in 1981.
The Minnesota board of directors gave me a symbol to put on every watch I clean and overhaul.
This symbol is a rhombus with the letters BVS in it. I put the date the watch was worked on near the symbol.
I worked for Fox Valley Trade Shop in Fond du Lac Wisconsin in 1979. Then JJ Smith in Janesville WI then Goodman's Jewelers in Minneapolis Minnesota then had my own watch repair place and now I own my own jewelry store and have since 1985.
