Please Note:
This is not a new watch and don't expect it to look and run like one. The accuracy of vintage watches is far inferior to today's Quartz (battery) watches. This types of mechanical watch either automatic or manual wind are never known for their accuracy so time accuracy never guaranteed. No box or paper is available.
