    Description

    Felsa Cal 760 Bidynator Permutator
    Wow, where do we start with this one?  Well, let's start with the obvious!  This 1950s Swiss Made beauty features a 44 Hour Power Reserve/Wind Indicator.  Secondly, it displays the date in RED, which is always neat, as far as we are concerned.  Red on watches is cool?  Absolutely - so, please direct your attention to the second hand.
    Alright, so it's got a neat dial and a really pretty 32.5mm ROSE GOLD FILLED case (fitted with a NEW CRYSTAL), oh, and the case is mounted to a BRAND NEW leather strap, but..what about the movement? I've never heard of "Telix" - is this a pin lever?  Is it chinese?  Does it even run?
    Well, absolutely it runs, and keeps time well, and in addition to that - It's powered by a THIRTY (30) JEWEL Felsa Caliber 760, which, as we have already talked about, but hey, I'll mention it again - Has center seconds, is BI-Directional winding, date, and power reserve, and ticks along at a cool 18,000bph
    In other words, some watches are all show, and no go...but this thing definitely has the go...and is probably more of a "sleeper" than a "showcar".
    Enjoy looking, and for one of you - enjoy owning!
    We prefer to shoot photographs outside when weather is permitting.  However, when we shoot indoors, please be aware that we shoot our photographs inside of lightboxes that are lit with 360 LED bulbs.  This indeed magnifies any flaws.  Usually, they are much less obvious to the naked eye.  Having said that, we never photoshop any of our photography, remove blemishes, etc.  We adjust light when necessary, but what you see is what you are getting, and we take pride in that.
    Please be aware that the item you are bidding on or purchasing is a VINTAGE item.  If this item is a watch, unless otherwise noted, it is keeping accurate time over a 2-4 hour time period.  We specialize in watches that are 20-100 years old, and as such, these items are previously worn and the quality of the item WILL reflect that.  Expect for a vintage timepiece to have blemishes...this is part of what gives these amazing pieces their charm.  Further, unless a watch specifically says that it has been recently serviced, expect that at some point in time, this timepiece will need a professional servicing in order to run and keep excellent time.  This is also something that goes along with owning any mechanical watch.  If an extremely accurate, worry free experience is what you are seeking, we would recommend purchasing a new quartz watch.  Very few, if any, vintage watches will keep as accurate time as a modern quartz watch.
    We do our absolute best to take accurate photographs of our items and to show any blemishes
    Examples of common characteristics of a vintage timepiece are:
    -imperfections on the crystal
    -imperfections on case
    -imperfections on the lugs
    -unless stated that the strap is new, the leather is often quite old and may need replacing in the future
    - metal bracelets may not include all of the links that the watch originally may have come with, but can be replaced with a bracelet or strap of your choosing
    If the item is a piece of vintage jewelry, be aware that the item may have some minor blemishes such as:
    -missing stones (view photos, we will NEVER photoshop in a missing stone or piece)
    -minor scratches or discoloration
    -fading of plating
    -fading of paint
    We do our best to take accurate photos and provide accurate descriptions.  Please take the time to view our high resolution photos of the item, and please feel free to ask any questions you may have prior to placing your bid.  We want this purchasing experience to be a pleasant and surprise free one.  Vintage and antique items, unless "new old stock", have been around the block a time or two.
    Thank you for your business!  We hope to see you return in the future!
