Description: 1940s Men's Imperial Manual Wind Watch This is a beautiful and somewhat rare men's Imperial manual wind watch, manufactured in Switzerland I believe sometime during the 1940s based on the dial and case style. The 7 jewel movement has been cleaned and oiled, and the watch is keeping accurate time. The beautiful copper plated (yes, it is copper and NOT rose gold!) case has been cleaned and polished, and shows some light surface scratches, and very minimal wear to the plating in a few spots on the bezel. The copper and white two-toned dial on this watch is in very good condition for the age - the copper color is a bit dark (the coloring is uniform and the white minute track helps set it off) but there are no spots or paint loss inside and including the minute track. There are a few dark spots around the edge of the dial where it has rubbed against the bezel over the years, but these areas can not be seen when the watch is assembled (see pictures). The case back has an inscription on it: "A.O. Nordine from Employees", but that can not be seen when the watch is being worn. A brand new acrylic crystal has been installed. A brand new black leather strap has been installed. Overall, the watch is in very good condition and ready to wear! I try to be very thorough with the description and details, but feel free to ask any questions not covered by the pictures or description prior to purchase.Please keep in mind that it takes a lot of my time, money, and knowledge to get these watches in reliable, running order and to make them look the best they can. I believe I am listing each watch at a fair market value -- I take the time to do a lot of research, and frequently check the "going rate" for watches that are similar to what I am offering, and adjust according to condition. As a result, I do not accept offers. Thank you for your understanding.I do combine shipping -- all items purchased at the same time will be shipped together in one box for a flat $6.00 fee. Simply add the items you wish to purchase to your cart, and when you check out, you should see one $6.00 flat shipping charge. Send me a message if for any reason you see shipping charges greater than $6.00 so that I can send you a refund of the excess.
