Hey everyone, this watch is back in my possession after being sold a few months ago off the forum. It’s been brought to my attention that it will need a service and also a mainspring. So I’ll be offering this piece at a discounted price if anyone is interested. Some information from the previous post is included. The photos are updated and not from the previous post.
Presently, the Venus 188 movement winds and keeps decent time (1 1/2 minutes slow after 48hrs). The chronograph functions do not work. The case, case back, bezel and lugs have dents throughout. The crown and pushers are gold plated and are starting to flake. The dial isn’t too bad. Some small dark marks are visible and some discoloring around the seconds and 30-minute marker are noticeable. I personally polished the crystal. Small marks may be present but it’s still very clear. One side of the lugs have holes for a spring bar and the other side has posts. I’m not sure why that is but I have seen this before.
The watch will be sold without a strap.
Offered at $525 EMT shipped
