·Hi gang!
Today we are offering two Devilles for the price of, um, two Devilles. #1 is a stainless automatic missing the crystal, most of one hand and not running. It does have a very nice case and crown and I got no clue why it's not running but figure the worst. The silver dial has some light scratches that appear and disappear depending on the angle. Would make an excellent donor case or resto project for the handy types.
Deville #2 is a gold filled automatic showing some wear but I suppose would clean up nicely with some elbow grease and polish. Has the original damage-free crystal and the dial is in spectacular flawless condition. This watch is currently running and keeping good time but I would have it serviced up as when I first got these two watches last week it at first ran and stopped, then started to run and keep good time all day and night. Since they both sat in a drawer for many years I suspect the lube may be dried up? I doubt anything is broken since it does usually run well and the quick-change date function works fine as well.
Anyways there ya have it, two snazzy 60's(?) Devilles for $575...next to no money! We will also throw in one running gent's vintage mechanical watch for a freebie, maybe two if one asks nicely after sending us money. We will also pay for CONUS shipping as well. We are located in sunny St. Petersburg Florida if anyone wants to stop by, pay for and pick up the watches and see our plastic pink flamingoes. Or, easier but less fun is send us a bank wire transfer or personal check, and we will carefully pack these two beauties along with some freebies and whisk them to your door via USPS.
Have a nice relaxing Sunday everyone and thanks for lookin!
