1940s Men's Benrus Model BB1 Manual Wind Watch - Restored and Running

Description: 1940s Men's Benrus Manual Wind Watch This is a very nice men's Benrus manual wind watch, made in Switzerland sometime during the 1940s. The 17 jewel Model BB1 / ETA 745 movement has been cleaned and oiled, and the watch is running well and keeping accurate time. The 2-tone gold colored dial is in excellent condition for its age - there are a few areas of paint loss but very little patina throughout. The cool looking 14k R.G.P. (Rolled Gold Plated) case with apex lug tops has been cleaned and polished, and shows only minor surface scratches from past use and a few tiny dings here and there, but no gold loss to be seen. The crystal has been polished and is clear, however there is a blemish at the top right above the 12 index. I didn't have another crystal of this size / shape, otherwise I would have replaced it. A brand new brown leather strap has been installed. Overall, the watch is in very good condition and ready to wear! I try to be very thorough with the description and details, but feel free to ask any questions not covered by the pictures or description prior to purchase.Please keep in mind that it takes a lot of my time, money, and knowledge to get these watches in reliable, running order and to make them look the best they can. I believe I am listing each watch at a fair market value -- I take the time to do a lot of research, and frequently check the "going rate" for watches that are similar to what I am offering, and adjust according to condition. As a result, I do not accept offers. Thank you for your understanding.I do combine shipping -- all items purchased at the same time will be shipped together in one box for a flat $6.00 fee. Simply add the items you wish to purchase to your cart, and when you check out, you should see one $6.00 flat shipping charge. Send me a message if for any reason you see shipping charges greater than $6.00 so that I can send you a refund of the excess.
