    Another one up for sale due to collection refocus. Has not been serviced whilst in my possession. Whilst it is in working condition, I am selling it as is. Factoring the issues listed below, and the cost of a service, I am asking $120USD for the watch including postage worldwide from Australia. Payment is to be made via PayPal. No returns are available unless the watch is not as described.

    The issues that I would like to point out are:

    * The crystal tension ring has a break in it at the 6 o'clock marker.

    * I believe the mainspring has a split or problem as the watch only seems to hold a power reserve of 24 hours or less, and manually winding the watch does not put any further resistance on the crown or produces sound of the mainspring slipping when it is fully wound.

    Size - 33mm across without crown and 36mm with. 42mm from lug to lug. 18mm lug width. Comes on a nice brown strap which fits my 6.75" wrist well.

    Condition - Crystal has some light scratches in the 10'oclock to 12'oclock area. Case appears to be unpolished and has marks consistent of light use. Lug edges are visible. Caseback has some minor scratches. Overall in good nick. Dial has nice patina and lume on hands and hour plots has aged to a pleasing brown.

    Movement - Certina 28-45 keeping time and appears clean. Rotor is working well and is not loose.

    I have references here on the forums as well as the watchexchange reddit page, and on eBay as boyzwillbeboyz. Please see photos for further details, and if you have any questions, just shoot me a friendly PM :>
