Trench watches ever made!! Due to a recent expert overhaul, this watch may be worn as a useful watch., accurate and reliable
Dedicated to getting it right. Right Price: the offered price is my price, no BS. ( I do discount to disabled Veterans)
The offered price is what I need to get for the watch, based on the marketplace, costs, reasonable labor rates.
While I see many sellers priced at 2-3 times the market, I don’t go there.
Right Service : I have customers who have been buying from me for 30 years,
and I’ve also maintained their collections with repairs and service.
Right Restorations: sadly far too many vintage and antique watches are restored
and overhauled by hobbyist level, self taught amateurs.
I receive repair work on a daily basis, and spend most of my time
correcting poorly executed work. It takes about 10 years of full time work to
become a good watchmaker, and a lifetime to become a great one. My restorations are comprehensive, paying attention to every aspect and component of the watch
and I draw on 30+ years of experience. It’s much more than
the just getting the watch running! I invite you take advantage of my 30 plus years of experience in the vintage/antique watch business. 20 years on ebay with very favorable feedback, and many, many repeat customers. I specialize in early wristwatches, mostly from the WW1 -WW2 era, enabling me to do the very best restoration work. I have or have been a member of the AWI, NAWCC, BHI etc. but nowadays mostly do business via the national and international mails.
