Vintage Watch (1970 ' S) With Interesting History
Item History & Price
For sale is another watch from my late fathers collection (see my feedback for details of previous sales), however this is one of the few that he did not purchase new (in fact he inherited it).
My father served in the Royal Engineers Regiment whist he was on National Service in the early 1960's, and his commanding officer was a Captain Charles Merry.
After National Service my dad became a civil engineer but kept in touch regularly with Charles Merry , Charles was also an engineer... and worked for NASA in the mid 60's up to his retirement in the mid 1970', this watch was presented to him when he worked for NASA.
Charles never had any family and my dad inherited the watch in about 2010 when Charles passed away.
This is how the watch ended up in my dads collection and now in my possession.
The watch is a Timex automatic and works fine (ive had it on test for a few hours-but please note its not been thoroughly tested so no warrenty given). My dad told me it was some sort of antimagnetic watch that was suited to engineering work, but I cant confirm that.
Its in nice condition with the same strap as when my dad inherited it, but I cant confirm if the strap is original.
Please ask if you have any questions.
I will sell to UK and will also sell to Europe and USA but only through the ebay global shipping programme.
Due to time wasters in the past, can I please make the followingconditions- Please only bid if you intend to pay.Please note I do not run an approval service (i.e. returning the watchbecause you've decided you no longer like it!).Any bidders with less than 10 positive feedbacks please contact mebefore you bid. Please pay within 24 hours of auction close.SERIOUS BUYERS ONLY PLEASE! Thanks for looking.
