WITH CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY(COA):
1934 INGERSOLL MICKEY MOUSE WRISTWATCH WITH LEATHER BAND(ROUND TIP VERSION).
BEGINNING IN 1935, DISNEY/INGERSOLL ADDED THE COPY: MADE IN U.S.A. TO THE DIAL FACE NEAR THE 8 HOUR POSITION.
THE WRISTWATCH IS IN OVERALL
EXCELLENT
CONDITION WITH MINIMAL COSMETIC AND/OR CONSTRUCTION DISTRACTIONS.
THE TONING SEEN ON THE DIAL FACE IS ALL EMBEDDED IN THE VINTAGE CRYSTAL AND NOT THE VERY WHITE DIAL FACE!!!!!!!!!!!!TO BE EXPECTED FOR A CRYSTAL FROM THE 1930's.
THE WRISTWATCH SET IS
GUARANTEED
TO BE ALL ORIGINAL EXCEPT FOR THE CAVEAT THAT THE CRYSTAL IS A 1930's VINTAGE REPLACEMENT AS CONFIRMED IN THE COA.
THE LEATHER BAND IS IN LIGHTLY WORN CONDITION(SCARCE).
THE WRISTWATCH WITH A LEATHER BAND ATTACHED HAS AN APPROXIMATE END-TO-END LENGTH OF 7 1/2".
THE CHROMED MICKEY MOUSE FIGURAL CHARMS ATTACHED TO THE BAND ARE IN OVERALL NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH THE ORIGINAL BLACK AND RED HAND-PAINTED COLOR-FILL ACCENTS STILL INTACT(
WOW
).
I HAD THE WATCH DETAIL SERVICED BY ONE OF THE MOST RESPECTED VINTAGE WATCHMAKERS IN THE U.S..
MY VINTAGE WATCHMAKER HAS PROVIDED A CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY(COA) WHICH WILL GO TO THE NEW OWNER OF THIS WONDERFUL WATCH(
5 INVESTMENT
).
UNLIKE MOST VINTAGE WATCHMAKERS, THIS WATCH HAD THE FOLLOWING DONE TO THE SAME: ALL THE PARTS WERE COMPLETELY DISMANTLED BEFORE BEING INSERTED INTO A SPECIAL ULTRA-SOUND CLEANING PROCESS.
ONCE THE PARTS ARE COMPLETELY CLEANED OF OLD OILS, ETC., THEY ARE PAINSTAKINGLY PUT BACK TOGETHER AND PLACED BACK INTO THE CASING. THE NEW OIL USED IS OF THE HIGHEST GRADE AVAILABLE.
MOST WATCHMAKERS WILL SIMPLY PUT THE INTERNAL PARTS WHILE STILL ASSEMBLED THROUGH THE SAME TYPE OF CLEANING PROCESS AND THEN PUT THE ASSEMBLY BACK INTO THE CASE. DOING THE CLEANING THIS WAY WILL ONLY REMOVE APPROXIMATELY 60% OF ALL THE OLD OILS AND OTHER SUBSTANCES THAT NEED TO BE REMOVED. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT KNOWLEDGE TO HAVE.
MORE AND MORE OF THESE VERY SPECIAL WATCHES ARE BEING LISTED AND SOLD AT LOWER PRICES WHICH MAY BE DO TO PARTS NOT BEING AUTHENTIC, DEFECTIVE HAIRSPRINGS WHICH CAUSES BAD TIMEKEEPING CAPABILITY, 1934 DIAL FACES PUT ON 1935 OR LATER WATCHES, LOOSE TIMEKEEPING ARMS THAT ARE NOT ATTACHED TO THE BASE PROPERLY, ETC., ETC.. A COA PROVIDED BY A "VINTAGE" WATCH SPECIALIST HAS VALUE THAT CAN LAST FOR YEARS AS YOU ENJOY YOUR INVESTMENT.
I TESTED THE WATCH FOR A 24
HOUR TEST
AND THE CORRECT TIME WAS OFF BY BEING 16
MINUTES FAST. THIS PERFORMANCE IS STILL WELL WITHIN THE EXPECTATIONS FOR ONE OF THESE BASIC 1930's MECHANICAL WRISTWATCHES.
PLEASE NOTE: A vintage collectible timepiece will not keep as accurate a time as a modern quartz wristwatch or cellular telephone and nor should it be expected to. If total accuracy is what you desire or need, then there are many quartz watches available at a fraction of the cost.
IT IS CONSIDERED BY MOST CREDENTIALED VINTAGE WATCHMAKERS THAT FOR ONE OF THESE MECHANICAL WATCHES TO KEEP ACCURATE TIME TO WITHIN 30 TO 45 MINUTES PER DAY IS WITHIN REASONABLE EXPECTATIONS
.
IT IS POSSIBLE TO REGULATE THE SPEED OF THE TIMEKEEPING MECHANICS BY, CAREFULLY, POPPING OFF THE BACK-PLATE AND ADJUSTING THE MOVABLE REGULATOR ARM UP OR DOWN TO BETTER FINE-TUNE ACCURACY.
AFTER SERVICING, MY VINTAGE WATCHMAKER SET THE REGULATOR TO THE BEST POSITION FOR THIS WATCH. THIS WATCH IS SET TO SLOW DOWN THE TIIMEKEEPING SPEED AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
PLEASE VIEW MY ENCLOSED PHOTO REFERENCES FOR THE BEST WAY TO DETERMINE THE FINE QUALITY OF THIS
87-YEAR-OLD
TIMEKEEPER FOR YOURSELF.
A PICTURE IS STILL WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS...........................................
