Description: STRICKLAND VINTAGE WATCHES Men's Antique Vintage Retro Estate '50s Benrus 21 Jewel Dress Wristwatch - RUNNINGWe at Strickland Vintage Watches have had the privilege of buying fine things from around the world, often acquiring entire estates just to get one piece. There might be several good items in a group that are outside our sphere of interest. However, they may just be the wonderful treasures you've been seeking!There have been many of you out there who can’t afford an SVW piece but still want a vintage timepiece on your wrist; there are set designers and costume coordinators on productions who are looking for just the right piece for their character(s). The estate-fresh pieces we list are for you.Some run; some do not but none have been cleaned, oiled and calibrated, so whether it is running at the time of this writing or not, one must have the piece serviced before wearing it as an everyday driver.We’re pleased to offer this handsome Benrus in relatively good original condition. Measuring approx. 36mm lug-to-lug by approx. 25mm wide, not counting crown, of course. Love the energy of the piece, the Minimalist look; love its completely original dial with “Bowling Alley” numbers and bar markers and sub-seconds register. Love its original high-grade 21 jewel movement. I know this may very well go to someone gathering pieces for wardrobe for a period production or to wear to the coffee shop or around the Village and that’s just fine. This work of horological art is by one of the world’s most interesting retailers and has a fine wrist presence, is estate-fresh and runs as I write this; however. PLEASE NOTE: The piece MUST be cleaned, oiled calibrated and/or serviced before being worn as any sort of timekeeper. We cannot guarantee any sort of running condition or accuracy. Bonne Chance! We invite you to visit our eBay store, where we have even more rare and original vintage straps and bands. SHIPPING: All bidders to pay actual shipping costs.
