Condition
The watch is completely original unto itself and I would rate the cosmetic condition as a 9.7/10. The shows age and wear commensurate with a 40+ year old watch but is in amazing condition for the age. The dial is original to the watch and has a date stamp with one month prior to the case date (79). The dial is the most amazing linen pattern with the beautiful off-green sub-dials. The dial and hands retain the very clean factory applied lume. The hands reset exactly to their vertical positions. The watch comes with its original bracelet and end-links. The crystal is a new acrylic Sternkreuz, which is an exact reproduction.
Service
I serviced this watch on 03/02/2021. That process includes a full cleaning and evaluation of all movement components and proper lubrication. Lubricants used were Moebius synthetic varieties appropriate for this watch movement type. The amplitude values are 230-240 range and the rate is +/- 2 sec/day. The case back, pushers and crown all have new, and factory correct seals.
This watch comes with a 100% money back promise of originality and a 1-year limited warranty on the movement from the time of sale. Shipping is to CONUS through USPS 2-day. International buyers must contact me for a shipping quote.
