I bought this about 15 years ago and used it for about 3 years, so it shows signs of wear and tear, and has scratches. After that, it was left in a box in storage. I left the battery in, and it still works (I wonder how long it will last...!). It's about 5 minutes off, but I don't know how to adjust the time, so I'd like to sell it as is. It's a tough watch, no doubt about it. I plan to wrap it in bubble wrap and ship it via post. I look forward to your purchase if you understand that this is a used item.
