In the description of the watches when it is marked "in running status" it means that the watch is running. Since collector's watches often have delicate and complex mechanisms, the purchaser is responsible for any general service, overhaul, battery change, adjustment or repair that may be necessary. We do not guarantee the perfect functioning of any watch. All photographs of our watches are original and have been taken by our photographers, that is to say, we do not work with stock photography and that is why the photographs are considered part of the cataloging.
