This Traser H3 has been worn as it was intended, as a tool watch and has the character to show for it.  This is a serious watch that has an imposing wrist presence, but as the pictures clearly show if you are looking for a pristine example this isn't the one for you.  The black "SWISS MADE" signed dial is in pristine condition, free of any scratching, tool marks, chipping or defects.  Any imperfections seen are on the crystal.  The tritium tubes glow very faintly after being exposed to bright light.  The fixed PVD coated all stainless steel bezel has some dings with the case showing wear and some loss of coating.  The outer edge of the case back is stamped "SWISS MADE  -  WATER RESISTANT 100 M  -  MB - MICROTEC H3 ILLUMINATION  -  60636."  The sapphire crystal looks good with some dust lying on its underbelly.   

The 25 jewels Swiss ETA 2824-2 automatic movement with quickset date function is clean, keeps accurate time and the date wheel rolls over at 12 am as it should.  The quickset date function works flawlessly by pulling out the crown to the first position and then turning it clockwise until the desired date has been reached.  After recently winding the non-screwdown crown 39 full revolutions the movement had an impressive power reserve of approximately 37 hours.  The crown winds beautifully.  Although the movement runs strong and keeps near perfect time, given that it shows no signs of ever having been serviced a complete overhaul is recommended.  

This watch measures approximately 39 mm excluding the crown, approximately 42.5 mm including the crown and approximately 22 mm between the lugs.  Case thickness, measured from the bottom of the case back to the top of the bezel, is approximately 11.5 mm.  The crystal doesn't add any additional thickness.  The PVD coated all stainless steel band with "TRASER" signed safety clasp has a broken tube/pin as shown in picture #10.  Any skilled watchmaker will be able to quickly and easily fix this.  While the coating is largely intact on the piece at 6 o'clock the wear to the coating is much more noticeable on the piece at 12 o'clock.  Two spare links are included.

Although this watch currently runs strong and keeps near perfect time, given that the movement shows no signs of ever having been serviced a complete overhaul is recommended.  As such there are no warranties, express or implied, attached with the sale of this watch.  Any servicing costs going forward are your responsibility.
