Movement:
A 1960’s 17 Jewel Elgin, Model 989 Movement, It has a good mainspring and a good balance. The movement has been wound and runs, but stops randomly; the rotor is loose. It has not been timed for accuracy nor is the service history known and is being sold “as is”, After 15+ years in storage, the oils and lubrication's have dried or degenerated, a service and cleaning is in order.
This watch has been packed away for a minimum of 15 years, the oils and lubrication’s have dried, the movement has not been recently serviced, even though it is running and keeping time the service history is unknown and is being sold as is and “Not Running”.
The Two-Piece Stainless Steel Elgin Signed Case measures 39mm's Long from Lug Tip to Tip and 34mm's Wide, not including the Crown. Overall, the case is in Great Condition, a serious buffing and it will look new.
Crystal, Dial and Band:
Crystal: The Plexi-Glass Crystal has flaws around the edge and will need to be replaced.
Dial: The Elgin Signed Dial is in good Condition, there is some very mild ageing …. nowhere near ready for a re-dial..
Band: The Band is an 18mm Brown Stitched Leather Band, it’s an older band that looks to have never been worn but is very aged and will need to be replaced.
Although This Watch is running, it is being sold as “Not Running”. It is Sold in "as is" condition with no warranty and no guarantees, this watch will need servicing and/or adjusting of some kind. Please look at the pics closely, they are close up and show every detail, what you see is what you get. If I have failed to point something out it isn’t intentional, if you have questions please ask.
Over the next several months or years, I will be selling “Loads and Loads” of Mechanics Specials. I literally have thousands of watches that I will NEVER be able to refinish and get sold.
Many of the Watches or Lots will include Dials, Crystals and various other parts that will make their refurbishment easier for you.
Many of them will be “runners”, many will not. ALL will need servicing/adjusting of some kind, they’ve been in storage for 20+ years. They will be sold in "as is" condition with no warranty and no guarantees.
The descriptions and details will be honest, and the pics will be clear. Items will be shipped well packaged in a USPS First Class Box.
