[is that my watch]

I am bad about that. I expect them to do well, which is not reasonable given the age of the watch. I like your attitude!

think I get yours too Dan

think it comes down to price maybe take this one it was a fair price it said running and on time it .. so when I got it ..it wound and held a decent charge for it age ...cosmetically it was in ok condition mainly just a lot of built up dirty on it so cleaned thoroughly polished it and every thing made it look ten times better from when I bought it .

then over the next couple of days notice it was running fast/slow .. so call the seller out on this.. they offer a full refund and would cover both post cost so that was fair of them..

but not going to happen as I had not seen another like it even when looking in to them the gold on the bezel was not seen before on others and the dial colour was slightly different too so did now want to spent ages hunting another up ( plus maybe thinking after all the work I had put in they could end up selling for more even if saying running fast/slow )

so I keep it as a future project

but as I said think it comes down to price a bit as well think I bought that sub £50 with post so I was not expecting much and expecting to do work on it in one form or another

but say if I had spent plus £250 on a watch ( I say plus £250 as a number for me say £100 plus depend on watch of course) I would expect it to work as it should as you are paying a higher price so it should be in a better condition as I said it does depend on the watch of course as some you would buy in any condition if they are as rare as hens teeth

so simple my view changes to match which watch I am buying I suppose a little which with vintage you can never tell how it will turn out till you had them awhile
