c1950's STRIKING VNTG WITTNAUER SS RARE "BOWTIE" LUG AUTOMATIC WATCH~KEEPS TIME

Description: c1950's STRIKING VINTAGE WITTNAUER RARE "BOWTIE" LUG AUTOMATIC WATCH~KEEPS TIME. Item Is Pre-Owned; Item Is Sold "AS IS"; Shipped USPS Ground Advantage. Offered for your visual as well as bidding approval is this striking vintage 17 jewel Wittnauer Geneve wristwatch manufactured in approximately 1943. Measuring 33mm wide and 36mm long, the stainless steel case has minor scratches and nicks consistent with use, but not abuse. At either end of the unique stylish angular case are eye catching bow tie lugs further adding to the timepiece's flair and elegance. The few surface marks that are present on the thick crystal does not distract from viewing the soft gray dial featuring stainless hash hour markers and stainless steel hands with a central second. Automatic wound, the signed Wittnauer, 17 jewel, movement winds, sets and runs, keeping good time over an eight hour period. However, unerring accuracy should not be expected, nor is it guaranteed. Due to the fact that this watch has been recently acquired from a closed watchmaker's estate, I cannot guarantee its future performance. If one hundred accuracy is required, a cleaning and adjustment would be recommended. This timepiece is a stylish addition to any collection and is perfect for everyday wear. Equally complimentary is the vintage stainless steel and black suede, period appropriate, expandable band in very nice condition which will easily accommodate a wrist of 7.5 inches. Please review all the pictures as they represent far more accurately the items condition than any verbal description that I can provide. In those situations where you are uncertain or unsure, ask questions, before bidding. Don't assume. Asking questions will ensure that you receive what you expect. Most if not all of the horological items which I present for auction are from watchmakers' estates which have been in storage for a number of years. Consequently, I have no details as to their prior history nor can I offer any information other than what has been gleaned from cursory observation. Now for the boring stuff: Please study the photographs closely as they are considered part of the description. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me prior to bidding. There are no refunds. I do not accept returns because you thought that it was something different, or you changed your mind. All items are deemed sold "AS IS" unless there is a material error in the description. In that rare event, an item may be returned for a full refund, minus shipping cost, if applicable. We do not offer, nor give partial refunds. The item must be returned in the same condition and with the same packaging and paperwork, if any, with which it was sent. Payment is due within three days of auction end unless you have contacted us prior to make alternate arrangements. Payments not received within four days will be reported to eBay as a non-payment. Your bid will thereafter be cancelled and the item relisted.
