Vintage Valuetex Gold Plated 17 Jewel Automatic Watch With Leather Rally Band
Item History & Price
I recently had the priveledge of buying a watchmakers and jewelers collections of watches and watch parts. One was a certified rolex repairman and he had a few nice watches and watch parts. The other was a WOSTEP Graduate and brought a great many things home from work. I will be selling some of these pieces this week and weeks to come. Here are some specifics about this watch:Brand: BM watch co valuetexModel: 17 jewel automatic day dateEra: late 1960s or early 1970sRu...nning Condition: This watch runs* (Please see asterisk statement below)
Case Composition: gold plated base metalCase Dimensions including lugs, but not including crown: 41mm X 34mmBand Composition: Black LeatherUseable Length: This watch and band combination can work for wrists up to 8 1/4 inches in circumference. Of course this can easily be changed by changing out the watch band Condition/Notes: Nice clean watch. I really like the band* Denotes current condition. The service history of this watch is unknown to me unless I state otherwise. Therefore you should expect to service this watch if you are a responsible collector. Often times these watches have been forgotten in a jewelers desk or in a back room for 30 plus years. I like to save them from that demise and get them back into the hands of collectors. It doesn't take very long for old gummy oil to stop a movement from running ( many times just a week or so ) or even worse if the oil is dried out it might not take too long for the watch to grind itself up inside. This is not specific to my watches, but to all that have not been serviced in the last few years. For this reason we only wind a watch a few turns to verify if it will go through the paces, so please understand I can only tell you if the watch is running here. I am not putting a guarantee on the performance of a watch in reguards to timing or longevity. Thanks for looking. Please take a look at all the other watches and parts I have this week and weeks to come as well as my store inventory. I am telling you this, because I will gladly combine / reduce shipping whenever possible. No international bidders without prior approval. International shipments must be sent registered mail and insured. Please feel free to ask questions or request additional pictures. All watches and clocks are tested at time of listing and rechecked when shipping and video recorded for condition documentation. The post office can be unkind to vintage timepieces during shipment. Because of this I package items better than necessary to insure a positive experience. No International bidders without prior approval. All international shipments must be registered and insured. No Customs fees are included in the shipping quotes I give. Also I cannot be liable for delays at customs checkpoints. No Shipments to Italy ( sorry ) or any other country that is on our No Ship list. Thanks for looking and have a great day
