This arrived in today, was meant to be fully functional but on arrival the stem pulled out of the case when trying to set the time, contacted the seller who assured me it was working prior to shipment and to return it for a refund.
I declined as the case and dial were in excellent condition and these are pretty rare and hard to find, the big plus is that they have a wonderful ETA movement inside an ETA 2472, haven't opened it myself and checked but I have another near identical one in not so good cosmetic condition which is what prompted me to buy this one as I am unlikely to see another again.
The other big plus was the strap that it came on, its really nice and a cut above most of the straps that generally come on vintage watches, a Copax with a Speidel buckle, all as new and probably worth close to or more than what I paid for the watch alone.
Unfortunately my WM closed for Christmas holidays today so I was a bit downhearted as would have to wait till he gets back later in the new year so I texted him asking when he would be back on deck, he texted back come down now ( 7.15 PM ) so I did and he fixed it on the spot! just a screw that had come loose in transit no charge !
What a Christmas gift lol.
Merry Christmas all.
