For sale is a Arsenal Geneve 396185 vintage watch, waterproof, incabloc, and with an antimagnetic shield.


Reference: 396185

Movement: Arsenal signed, 17 jewels

Width: 34mm (without crown), 36 (with crown)

Lug to lug: 40mm

Thickness: 10mm

Lug width: 18mm

Crystal: Acrylic


Condition

Considering the age, the watch is in very good condition. The dial has very small marks that are almost invisible to the naked eye. Lume pots are intact. Hands are clean with the original lume still applied. Case has scratch marks all around, but nothing major. Considering the scratches and sharp edges, I don't think it has been polished. 


Movement is fairly clean and keeps decent time. The case screws, that hold the movement to the case, are missing. It's not a problem as the movement can't go even with the case back open, as the crown stem keeps it in place. It should be a very easy fix for any watchmaker or if you're a bit handy yourself. On a timegrapher app it's losing 4 minutes per day with a 1.2ms beat error, so it definitely needs a service.


Additionally, please check the photos carefully and don't hesitate to contact me if you have questions.


Movement Service

The movement's service history is unknown and I haven't personally sent it for a service. Although it runs well, keep in mind you're buying a vintage watch. If you care for it to function properly in the future, a service will be needed.


Waterproof

The watch is waterproof, but the rating is not known to me. I can imagine it's 1-3 ATM, which means that it can be used to wash your hands or in rainy days. Anything more than that, like taking a shower with the watch or even worse, taking it for a swim, should be avoided. It needs to be pressure tested by a watchmaker to make sure that it's within the waterproof rating spec.


Returns

Returns are not accepted unless the watch is grossly misrepresented. Please contact me before buying if you have questions.


Shipping

The watch will be shipped within 3 working days via International Standard Shipping. You will be provided a tracking number as soon as shipment is handled. I will not be liable for any customs delays or fees on international orders. Please contact me if you have any questions about shipping.
