Unless otherwise stated, all watches are likely to have been serviced and/or repaired in their lifetime and may have had parts replaced. While a watch may be described as 'working' at the time of the report, they are not guaranteed for timekeeping or durability - it is advised that all watches are inspected and serviced by a qualified jeweller or horologist before full use. The cost of servicing can be significant and so we strongly advise obtaining a quote before placing your bid.
