I’ve had this watch for a few months now, but I recently purchased a new-to-me vintage watch that is coming back from service soon. I’m trying to stick to my rule of one comes, one goes. Here’s some details: - Circa 1950s Benrus Pointer Date - 17 Jewel CE 13 Movement - Manual Wind - 30mm across - 10K rolled gold plated - Serviced a little over a month ago by Matt (95d16turbo) It can run up to a few minutes fast over the course of a few weeks. I spoke to Matt about this and it’s my understanding that it’s basically par for the course for a watch of it’s age. It has something to do with the balance wheel and the angles as your wrist moves. It’s in beautiful shape for it’s age with a beautiful patina on the face. It’s not beat by any means, but it has the wear and tear you’d expect from a watch that’s 60 years old. Looking for $220, but I’ll listen offers. I’m more than willing to meet up in/around Kenmore if you’d like to check it out.

Why have you not contacted me about this? I feel slighted. ---
