THIS... IS A VINTAGE WATCH AND IT IS SOLD AS IS as found in the estate...Men's Vintage Waltham Premier 65 (red wing) Selfwinding 34 mm x 36 mm (with crown) x 40 mm (lug to lug) x 11 mm thick and 18 mm lugs stainless case and bezel with genuine flex strap in NOS condition and vintage original case Tested for 24 hours -still running and keeping time, service and timing is strongly recommended since last date of service is unknown I don't know when it waslast serviced. I can not guarantee thatit will stay running without being serviced, cleaned and oiled.In the 60's and 70's various watch companies participated inthe "jewel wars" -- they loaded up certain "elite" or "high-end"modelswith as many jewels as they could either justify (by technical means) or"get away with" to make their offering look superior to theircompetitors offerings. Some of these efforts were "meaningful" ... addingmore cap jewels, jeweling various arbors not normally jeweled...some efforts were somewhat marginal ... adding jewels torotor hubs - really does make for a quiet auto-wind operation!! ... but may notreally reduce friction more than the typical metal ball bearing laden rotorhubs...some efforts could be considered trivial .... adding jewelsto the rotor "travel path" to inhibit "rotor scrape", etc.Ihave no technical details on the Waltham 41 Jewels from experts anywhere...THE WATCH HAS 41 JEWELS SWISS MADE AND IT SEEMS LIKE AN EARLY VERSION BECAUSE OF THE WRITING ON THE ROTOR, SEE PICS- VERY GOOD USED CONDITION WITH SOMESCRATCHES AND ORIGINAL FLEX STRETCH BAND.
