Offered for sale is a vintage Swiss Made Baume & Mercier Genève men's dress watch, dating back to the late 1960s. It features a slender gold plated case which measures 33mm in diameter and is just 8mm thick. The dial on this particular example comes in a creamy gold finish with minimalist gold tone indices. It appears that the dial once was white, but the coating has discoloured due to age. The dauphine hands show some uniform staining as well. Inside the watch sits a high quality ETA caliber 2390 manual winding movement. The watch comes with a fitting dark brown leather strap with generic buckle, to complete its vintage looks.
The example sold here has been worn throughout its life, but is still in good condition. The case has been cleaned entirely, but left unpolished to maintain its sharp edges and curves. You will find some wear marks on the case and lugs, but no coarse damage. A brand new plexiglass crystal was fitted. The crown is unsigned and might have at one point in its life been changed. The movement was freshly serviced, and is working perfectly. Please study the pictures in this listing well: they show the watch in the condition that it is in, with no digital enhancements to make it look better than it is. We are sure that you like honesty, and so do we. The watch comes in its lovely vintage and original blue Baume & Mercier presentation box, but sadly no paperwork is present with this piece.
Your newly acquired timepiece will be packaged with great care, and will be shipped out as fast as possible. We usually ship the same day your payment comes in, and provide full insurance as well as a tracking code for all of our packages. If you have any questions regarding the item or our services, please do not hesitate to reach out. We'll gladly assist as soon as we get the chance!
