Condition:

In the case of old goods, it is normal to see traces of usage and age. Because of this reason, we do not give a guarantee of accuracy and power reserve. Please also note, that a second-hand watch is usually not longer waterproof, even when originally stated by the manufacturer. Water resistance is not a permanent feature. We therefore recommend that with regular usage and for the sake of preservation, to have a revision carried out by a specialist. We cannot accept any liability for improper handling by the buyer.
