This is an ex-display watch in mint condition, previously showcased at an exhibition. It arrived from a military and security industriesd sale with a note stating “might need regulating – two minutes off.” Unfortunately, the note doesn’t specify whether that refers to two minutes per day or over several days.
We tested the watch for several hours, and everything appeared to function perfectly. However, even if it does require minor regulation, this is a quick adjustment for any watchmaker or anyone with basic horological skills — making this watch an excellent bargain at the price.
