Each of the watches are in working order, unless it is stated “does not run” in the Lot Description. Please refer to the Lot Description for additional watch information and notes regarding working condition or remarks. All watches are sold as-is. We do the best we can to provide you enough information to make a confident bid. We use pocketwatchdatabase.com for some information.
