By Pretty Bad Shape, Does that mean it IS NOT Running {Is the Movement Frozen}?>Does the Crown Wind?

Jul 23rd, 2014 at 8:44:29 PM PDT by

Well let me rephrase that ..its dirty and the back is sealed shut I cant open it, it does wind and the hands to move when you set it. it is not running right now no

Mens or womans?

Jul 24th, 2014 at 8:59:57 AM PDT by

I would have to go with men's probably That's my best guess

Jul 24th, 2014 at 9:01:09 AM PDT by

It Is a Men's>Circa 1940's. So the Watch Is Not Winding Now?>Everything Else U Mentioned is Cosmetic that I can Fix! But Only if It The Movement is Not Frozen Up {Mainspring Issue}.

When I turn the knob the hands move so I am assuming it probably functions. I have not tried to pry the back off for fear of damaging it. I hope that helps :)

I think I will try to win it. Hopefully, it is Not Frozen up>Once I Restore it, it would make a Beautiful Timepiece!>>One Last Request from you>I know that you stated that Crown Does turn and the Hands do Move. That's a Good Sign! If you "Push" the Stem in ALL the way and then Carefully "Turn the Crown" {Knob} in the Direction *AWAY* from you, it Should Turn, without moving the hands. you will be able to know For Sure if it runs or not by just watching it after you have done that. If you rather would not do it, I understand>But if it works you will know. It's up to you. Danny

I know I couldn't believe it lol I don't know a lot about watches, we know enough to know value but not a lot of tech expertise in our antiquities forte haha we actually picked up some 14k hunter pocket watches the other day. Trying to appraises them. You know anything about that?

Jul 26th, 2014 at 8:07:33 AM PDT by

The Pictures Did Not Load?>Danny

Jul 30th, 2014 at 4:39:37 PM PDT by

Which pictures? I didn't send pics just the details on the clocks

Jul 30th, 2014 at 4:42:23 PM PDT by

Without Pictures, It would make it nearly Impossible for me to "Appraise" them. There are So Many Detailed parts and other factors involved. Sorry Dan.

Aug 1st, 2014 at 12:22:52 AM PDT by

We can send pictures can you message us your email again on private message, not a problem :)

Aug 1st, 2014 at 8:16:40 AM PDT by

Well Dan, It looks like You are going to get more than your thought you might. Mr. "leecreighton" has really upped the Ante on me. I guess I should not have done all of the Homework as to its working condition for HIM. That is REAL GOOD for you, but Expensive for me or {For Him. Congrats}!!!

Aug 3rd, 2014 at 10:21:51 PM PDT by

Sorry sir

Aug 3rd, 2014 at 10:25:38 PM PDT by

Not Your Fault. I just Saw the the Nice one that U Won just a Bit ago? The Proceeds from the this one will help you a lot
Guess U Do Know more about Vintage Watches than I thought

Aug 3rd, 2014 at 11:06:23 PM PDT by

I know that was a good buy on our part I think

Aug 3rd, 2014 at 11:09:02 PM PDT by

Hope that someone DOES Beat my 75,001 now! {HINT}>Tried to "Retract" it back down, but I guess Listia is not Like eBay where you can "Retract" Some or All of the Bids you placed.

Aug 3rd, 2014 at 11:28:19 PM PDT by

Yeah I don't think they do, :) well who ever wins we will pay free ship
