Vintage Antique Thin Gents LONGINES 12 Size 15 Jewel Pocket Watch
Item History & Price
I recently was able to purchase a nice watch collection From a watchmaker in Des Moines Iowa. It is clear that he loved Pocket Watches and spent a lot of time and money making sure that his watches were in the best condition possible. I have not serviced these watches myself, but judging by the notes he put on each envelope as he serviced them, He is rather detail oriented. Here is some information about this watch:Brand: LonginesModel: 1940 Stainless steel 12 s...ize pocket watch in very clean condition.Case Composition: Stainless Steel? Case is a Longines marked case Running Condition: This watch runs* Please refer to asterisk statement belowCase size not including bow or crown: 46mmNotes/Condition: Interesting little watch. Very Clean 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 regards to timing or longevity.Please take a look at 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. 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. Condition of clocks and watches are all documented with photos and video prior to shipment. 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 ) Thanks for looking and have a great day.
