- Movement made in Malaysia
The caseback marks the movement as made in Malaysia, and the watch was found in a United States collection rather than sourced in Japan. Checked here by hand: it runs and the crown sets the time. Graded against the same scale as everything else on the shelf.
Tested. It runs, and the crown sets the time. Accuracy over a long wear is unknown, and there is no service record with it.
Light scratches and scuffs on the case and bezel from normal wear.
Light surface marks on the crystal.
Dial, hands and lume plots look good, with no damage seen.
The case is marked water resistant, but that is not guaranteed on a pre-owned watch.
Head only. No strap, no bracelet, no box and no papers.
Grade Good. Light wear on the case and crystal, and no service history to hand. Priced for both.
Includes: The watch head as photographed, with both spring bars. No strap, no bracelet, no box, no papers.
Shipping & returns
Shipping
Every piece ships insured from California, packed the way we’d want our own sent. US orders usually arrive in 2 to 4 business days. Canada takes 5 to 10, with tracking, and any duties are settled at the border.
Returns
You have 14 days from delivery. If a piece isn’t what you expected, we’d rather have it back than have you keep something you don’t love. Send it back in the condition it arrived and we’ll refund the item price in full. Return postage is on you, unless the piece arrived not as described, in which case we cover it.
Servicing & what “vetted” means
Vetted means one of us went through the piece by hand, worked every function, serviced it, and graded it against the scale on The Standard, with the faults written into the listing.
