Description
Maker: Cortebert Watch Company c.1950
Model: Sport Reference #9101
Model: Sport Reference #9101
Condition: This is a vintage Cortebert Sport military style wristwatch coming to you as found as shown for restoration or parts. The watch is running however, it will not stay running because the sweep second hand just barely touches the minute hand and it will stop when it makes contact. You can give it a gentle bump and it will start up again until it comes back around. I would resolve this issue however, it will need attention to the set bridge anyway. The stem/crown will not stay in place and when you pull out the crown to set the time, it comes right out. I put it back in place, buttoned everything all up and as soon as I pulled the crown out to set the time, it popped out again! So, it may need a new set bridge or minor repair to make it right. The watch is amazingly clean for its age and the radium hands and dial look original and not redone. The hands have a nice blued finish backed by a light greenish tinted radium insert. The dial is about as nice as you will ever find. The stainless steel case has scratches throughout but nothing that won't detract from it cosmetically. It looks like it has never been polished and if you are a collector of the military style watches, this is about as nice as it gets. I put a NOS brown nylon strap that is possibly period correct. It is old and at least from the 60's. It is a smaller strap that will fit about a 6" to maybe a 6.5" wrist.
I take great care in packaging all the items being sold but, I especially take extra precautions when packing clocks. I do everything I can to prevent your clock arriving damaged. Due to rising costs and some areas no longer being the rates they used to be, I no longer will offer large wall clocks with free shipping. If the clock appears very expensive for S&H, please inquire BEFORE making the purchase and I will check the accuracy of eBay's shipping calculator per your location. We do not offer refunds on S&H AFTER a payment has been made.
Measurements: 38.6mm lug to lug and 31.6mm in diameter not including the crown
