This watch is being sold AS-IS for running condition; it is running strong however very fast. It likely needs a cleaning or may have something magnetized along the train, however it is cost prohibitive for us to complete that work. This would make an excellent project for the new watchmaker or hobbyist, or for use as a jewelry piece if keeping accurate time is not a consideration. An attractive mechanical movement Timex from the 1950s in very good overall cosmetic condition!
