THIS IS A 1920s-30s ILLINOIS MODEL 805MEN\'S 15 JEWEL YELLOW GF FANCY LONG CASE DRESS WATCH. THE CASE MEASURES APPROX. 43MM LONG. IT HAS A METALLIC DIAL WITH RAISED GOLD MARKERS. I HAD A NEW REPTILE GRAIN BROWN LEATHER DRESS INSTALLED. IT\'S READY TO WEAR.
AS SOON AS THE WATCH WAS ACQUIRED FROM THE ESTATE, I WOUND IT SEVERAL TURNS. THE WATCH CAME RIGHT TO LIFE. I LET THE WATCH RUN FOR A FEW HOURS BEFORE LISTING TO MAKE SURE IT WORKED. IT RAN SMOOTH W/O STOPPING. THE WATCH IS SITTING IN FRONT OF ME NOW & STILL TICKING AWAY AS I AM TYPING THIS LISTING. THE DIAL HAS DARKENED A BIT, BUT IS NOT ROTTED OUT. THE CRYSTAL IS NOT CRACKED, FOGGED UP OR CHIPPED UP. THE WATCH CASE IS NOT ROTTED OUT, BADLY BEAT UP, BENT UP, DENTED UP, CRACKED, MODIFIED OR REPAIRED. PLEASE NOTE: AS WITH ALL VINTAGE PRE-OWNED TIMEPIECES, WHEN THE WATCH IS HELD IN DIFFERENT ANGLES OF BRIGHT GLARING DIRECT LIGHT, I CAN SEE SOME SCRATCHES HERE & THERE FROM USE.
THE WATCH WAS FOUND STORED IN A CLIMATE CONTROLLED PART OF THE ESTATE HOME. IT WAS NOT FOUND IN A WET BASEMENT OR OUTSIDE STORAGE. I HAVE NOT POLISHED UP, SERVICED OR TAMPERED WITH ANYTHING. THE WATCH WAS SIMPLY CHARGED & MY OBSERVATIONS WERE MADE FOR THE DESCRIPTION. I HAVE WAY NO TO PREDICT OR WARRANTY HOW LONG THE WATCH WILL CONTINUE TO RUN AS WELL AS IT IS NOW. THIS IS SIMPLY DUE TO BEING A VINTAGE WRISTWATCH DIRECTLY OUT OF AN ESTATE. I ASSURE ALL buyers THATTHE WATCH IS RUNNING, JUST AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, AT THE TIME OF THIS LISTING.IT\'S BEING OFFERED WITH NO WARRANTIES OR RETURNS AS AN 80+ YEAR OLD PRE-OWNED TIMEPIECE.IT\'S BEING OFFERED DIRECTLY FROM THE ESTATE & AS PICTURED HERE.
** NEVER A RESERVE **
ALL ITEMS I OFFER ARE FROM NUMEROUS EAST COAST ESTATES (MOSTLY FROM MARYLAND, WASHINGTON DC, VIRGINIA, NEW JERSEY AND PENNSYLVANIA). THEY ARE OBTAINED THROUGH CONSIGNMENT OR ESTATE LIQUIDATION PURCHASE. I HAVE BEEN A PROFESSIONAL ESTATE PERSONAL PROPERTY CONSIGNMENT & LIQUIDATION LLC FOR 15 YEARS. I AM NOT A \"YARD SALER\" OR A \"PICKER\". YOU ARE SEEING ITEMS BROUGHT TO ME RIGHT OUT OF THE ESTATES. I DO NOT TAMPER WITH ITEMS, POLISH UP ITEMS OR ALTER THEM IN ANY WAY. I WANT buyers TO VIEW THEM AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO WHEN THEY CAME FROM THE ESTATES. I DESCRIBE ITEMS AS I AM LOOKING AT THEM. I DESCRIBE EXACTLY WHAT I SEE. IF I TEST THE FUNCTION OF A MECHANICAL ITEM, THE DESCRIPTION ADVISES OF WHAT THE ITEM IS DOING IN FRONT OF ME WHEN TESTED, NOT AFTER IT HAS BEEN OWNED BY THE BUYER. ALL ITEMS ARE BEING OFFERED AS FINAL SALES FROM ESTATE LIQUIDATION WITH ALL WEAR OF A USED VINTAGE ITEM. I WILL ONLY CALL AN ITEM MINT IF I TRULY BELIEVE THAT IT\'S IN MINT CONDITION. I WILL ONLY CALL AN ITEM RARE OR SCARCE IF I TRULY BELIEVE IT TO BE SO.
THE ITEMS LISTED HERE ARE NOT BEING OFFERED LOCALLY AT THE SAME TIME. I WILL NOT END AN sale EARLY TO GET MORE MONEY FOR AN ITEM LOCALLY. ONCE AN ITEM IS UP & RUNNING, IT STAYS RUNNING UNTIL THE sale ENDS (UNLESS I MAKE A BAD DESCRIPTION ERROR & HAVE TO END THE sale TO FIX THE PROBLEM & THEN RE-LIST IT.)ALL ITEMS ARE SOLD TO THE WINNING buyer AT THE AMOUNT THEY WON IT FOR. I NEVER REFUSE COMPLETION OF A TRANSACTION BASED ON WHAT AN ITEMS SELLS FOR. (IE:IF A VALUABLE ITEM HAPPENS TO GO SUPER CHEAP, YOU GET IT CHEAP.)
MY sales ARE STRAIGHT FORWARD. MY DESCRIPTIONS ARE CLEARLY WRITTEN & PLAIN TO UNDERSTAND. I TAKE NUMEROUS EXCELLENT CLEAR CLOSE-UP PHOTOS OF THE ITEMS. I USE PLAIN BACKGROUNDS AND SIMPLE PLAIN FONTS. I DO NOT BELIEVE IN FLUFFY BORDERS, FANCY BACKGROUNDS, OVERBLOWN HYPE WORDING OR CONFUSING FANCY LETTERING FONTS TO PROMOTE HYPE IN ATTEMPT TO MAKE AN ITEM APPEAR MORE SPECTACULAR THAN IT REALLY IS. I WANT BUYERS TO SEE SOMETHING AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO WHAT I AM SEEING WHEN THE ITEM WAS ACQUIRED. I DO NOT USE THE DISTRACTION OF OVER-FLUFFED ADVERTISING IN AN ATTEMPT TO CAUSE AN EMOTIONAL REACTION TO IMPULSE offer & THEN HAVE BUYER\'S REMORSE.
COLLECTORS PLEASE DO NOT WORRY. MY ITEMS WILL NOT DISAPPEAR PART WAY THROUGH THE sale. I CANNOT END sales EARLY FOR THE \"WHAT WILL YOU TAKE FOR IT NOW\" OR \"WHAT IS YOUR BUY IT NOW PRICE\" EMAILS. THE ESTATES USUALLY PREFER STRAIGHT sales TO FOLLOW THROUGH. SOMETIMES ITEMS DIE AND SOMETIMES THEY DO MUCH BETTER THAN ANY OFFER. THAT\'S THE FUN OF AN sale. PLEASE NOTE:OCCASIONALLY, IF THE ESTATE REQUESTS, I DO USE THE \"BUY IT NOW OR BEST OFFER\" FORMAT. ALSO,I NEVER PUT A RESERVE ON ANY sale.RESERVESARE JUST A PHONY WAY OF TRYING TO SELL SOMETHING BY GIVING THE ILLUSION OF AN sale.
I HOPE ALL OF MY ITEMS WILL GO TO PEOPLE WHO WILL ENJOY THEM.I WILL GLADLY ACCEPT A RETURN AND/OR TAKE CARE OF A PROBLEM IF I DO MAKE A GROSS ERROR IN DESCRIPTION. IF I MADE NO GROSS ERRORS, THE ITEM IS AN ESTATE FINAL SALE. THIS IS MERELY DUE TO THE ITEMS BEING ANTIQUES / VINTAGE / PRE-OWNED.I CANNOT ACCEPT RETURNS FOR: BUYER\'S REMORSE, FALSE or FRIVOLOUS COMPLAINTS MADE IN AN ATTEMPT TO MASK BUYER\'S REMORSE OR FALSE RETURN DEMANDS USING response INTIMIDATION.
PLEASE ASK ALL QUESTIONS BEFORE THE ITEM ENDS. I CANNOT CANCEL A TRANSACTION FOR QUESTIONS ASKED AFTER THE ITEM HAS ENDED. I CANNOT ACCEPT RETURNS FOR ITEMS THAT HAVE BEEN BROKEN BY THE BUYER, TAKEN APART BY THE BUYER, ALTERED OR TAMPERED WITH IN ANY WAY BY THE BUYER. I CAN OFFER NO WARRANTIES OR RETURNS ON MECHANICAL ITEMS OR WATCHES IN REFERENCE TO HOW LONG THEY WILL CONTINUE TO OPERATE AFTER RECEIVED BY THE BUYER. I TEST ALL WIND UP TYPE ITEMS & WATCHES AS BEST AS POSSIBLE BEFORE LISTING THEM. I DESCRIBE EXACTLY WHAT I OBSERVE. HOWEVER, I HAVE NO WAY TO PREDICT HOW LONG A VINTAGE/ ANTIQUE / PRE-OWNED MECHANICAL ITEM OR WATCH WILL CONTINUE TO WORK AFTER IT IS SHIPPED.
PLEASE NOTE: MANY OF MY ITEMS COME FROM BEING STORED IN OLD ESTATES FOR MANY YEARS. JUST TO BE SAFE WHEN offerDING, PLEASE ASSUME THEY POSSIBLY DID NOT COME FROM SMOKE FREE HOMES. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT SMELLS \"OLD\" TO SOMEONE, OR WHAT \"SMELLS LIKE Tobacco SMOKE\" TO SOMEONE. I CANNOT OFFER ANY RETURNS FOR AN ITEM THAT A BUYER SAYS \"SMELLS OLD\" OR \"SMELLS LIKE SMOKE\". MOST OF THE ITEM I OFFER ARE OLD. JUST ABOUT EVERYBODY SMOKED BACK THEN. SOME OF MY ITEMS SAT FOR DECADES IN OLD ESTATE HOMES WHERE THERE WAS PROBABLY Tobacco SMOKING GOING ON AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER.
PLEASE REMIT PAYPAL PAYMENTS WITHIN 3 DAYS OF sale\'S END. I AM VERY FRIENDLY & ACCOMMODATING, BUT NON-PAYING / NO CONTACT buyers DESTROY THE VALUE OF ITEMS. IF A WINNING buyer DOES NOT PAY FOR AN ITEM, I WILL HAVE TO FILE AN NON-PAYMENT CASE TO RECOUP THE FEES. I SHIP WITHIN 5 DAYS AFTER CLEARED PAYMENTS ARE RECEIVED.
I ALWAYS TRY TO PACK MULTIPLE SMALL PURCHASES IN ONE BOX TO SAVE THE WINNING buyer A BIT ON THE SHIPPING/PACKING COST (AS LONG AS IT IS SAFE TO DO SO W/O RISK OF BREAKING ITEMS BY JAMMING THEM IN ONE BOX.)I NEVER STACK FULL SHIPPING COSTS FOR MULTIPLE ITEMS ON TOP OF ONE ANOTHER UNLESS THEY HAVE TO BE PACKED IN SEPARATE BOXES FOR SAFETY IN TRANSIT. (MOST LARGE & HEAVY ITEMS SHIPPED VIA UPS WILL HAVE TO BE PACKED IN SEPARATE BOXES FOR SAFETY.) I SHIP ALL SMALL ITEMS IN THE USA VIA USPS PRIORITY MAIL W/ DEL CONF. ALL ITEMS OVER $200 ARE SHIPPED WITH SIGNATURE CONFIRMATION. I DO NOT SHIP VIA USPS PARCEL POST, USPS 1ST CLASS OR FED-EX AT ALL, NO EXCEPTIONS. I SHIP ALL LARGER & HEAVY ITEMS IN THE CONTINENTAL USA VIA FULLY INSURED UPS GROUND.
PLEASE NOTE: THERE IS NO UPS GROUND SHIPPING TO ALASKA, HAWAII OR APO ADDRESSES. ALL ITEMS SHIPPED TO ALASKA, HAWAII OR A U.S. APO WILL HAVE TO BE SENT VIA AIRMAIL. THIS WILL COST A GOOD BIT MORE THAN NORMAL UPS GROUND IN THE LOWER 48 STATES.THE UPS SHIPPING COST SHOWN IN MY LISTINGS IS FOR INSURED UPS GROUND IN THE LOWER 48 STATES, PRO PACKED BY THE UPS STORE. PLEASE INQUIRE ABOUT ANY LARGE ITEM AIRMAIL COST BEFORE THE ITEM ENDS. I ONLY SHIP ITEMS. I DO NOT DO PICK-UPS AT ALL DUE TO A HORRIFIC BUSINESS SCHEDULE. I CANNOT DO PICK-UPS AT ALL DUE TO A HORRIFIC BUSINESS SCHEDULE. I ONLY SHIP ITEMS.
FOREIGN BUYERS USING A USA 2ND PARTY MAIL FORWARDING COMPANY TO GET AROUND MY PROHIBITED COUNTRIES LIST TAKE CAREFUL NOTICE:THE INDICATED USA SHIPPING LOCATION IS THE BUYER\'S ADDRESS, NOT THE OVERSEAS 2ND PARTY LOCATION THE BOX WILL EVENTUALLY BE FORWARDED TO. I DO NOT PROVIDE ANY DISCOUNTS FOR FALSE / TRIVIAL / FRIVOLOUS \"ITEM NOT AS DESCRIBED\" COMPLAINTS MADE IN A FRAUDULENT ATTEMPT TO HAVE THE SHIPPING COSTS AND/OR CUSTOMS FEES PAID FOR BY THE SELLER.
