Please note that this is a verge fusee pocket watch and incredibly delicate. The watch has been cleaned and serviced but is gaining 30 minutes a day. Also, we do not offer a full guarantee on these watches. Should the fusee chain break, this repair will be charged to you at cost and we will not accept returns if the chain is broken.
