The watch is running at the time of cataloguing. This fact must be considered in relation to its age. We do not guarantee its future operation. It has not been tested over a long period, and we therefore do not guarantee the timekeeping accuracy of the movement or its power reserve. Servicing or restorations may have been carried out on the entire watch, resulting in the replacement of parts that may therefore not be original (dial, hands, parts of the movement, strap...). As the watch has been opened, we do not guarantee its water resistance. Unless otherwise stated, we have no information regarding the last service performed and we recommend a full overhaul of the timepiece.
