Just coming back to the light of day from a safe deposit box in Topeka Kansas is this vintage 70's era Waltham which is a large chunk of stainless at 40mm diameter. This one is not NOS (new old stock) but is very close. It still has the original plastic cover and swiss movement sticker on the case back. With magnification, it shows a few small signs of being worn over th...e years but is about as good as it gets. The dark blue dial is beautiful. It is 100% original except for the new 20mm high grade blue and orange rally strap that compliments the dial and hands. It has the Michelle style quick disconnect spring bars. Case has not been polished or worked over. Of course the crown is original and signed. When I received the watch, it operated perfectly but I dont believe it was ever serviced so the movement just received an ultrasonic treatment with L&R professional chemicals and synthetic oil to the pivots. These old Waltham chronos came in a multitude of different variations and this one having a stainless case and a great blue dial is toward the top as far as desirability. She operates perfectly and keeps good time. Great old watch ready to wear and enjoy.On my fixed price auctions, prices get reduced over time when possible if there is any room to maneuver. I don't respond to low ball offers or questions like "whats the least you will take for it". You wont get a reply.
Please note that vintage watches will all show signs of wear and are never perfect. Many of these watches are decades old. Time keeping may be close but adjustments or service might be needed to provide super accurate time keeping. If you are looking for unblemished examples of watches that keep perfect time you may need a new Casio. I will always point out obvious defects but I wont catch everything. Please don't contact me post sale and pick apart something and then ask me to refund a portion of the selling price to make you happy while keeping the watch. Always happy to refund 100% and take back anything you are not satisfied with. I am a hobbyist and not a watchmaker and do not rely on ebay for income and will never intentionally misrepresent or use this as a dumping ground for problem items.
Will ship USPS priority mail for tracking purposes.
