Today's belly-laugh! Bids are now over $2k :-( Seems the seller is having conscience (or legal) pangs judging by the addendums:
(yellow gold plated 18K)
This watch will be sell without box, technical document or certificate, only because I have not.
the serial number 1415367 means the watch was recently made, but I can't really say in which period exactly. It not appear in the actual book of Vacheron Constantin. The serial number 550000 are from the 1960's. I could imagine this one is from the 1990's or maybe a little later.
The watch is not new and was owned many years. Everything is original in this watch and was not change since to be bought. Only cleaning in jewelry sometimes. I heard that the crown and one other piece was in Rose Gold, and not yellow like we can think. The other part seems to be in gold plated 18K, but all the indication about the material of the watch could only be certified by the real expert of this kind of watch.
I expressly notify I'm not expert of the Vacheron watch, and I'm sure there will be in the possible buyer people really expert of this. You can ask some specific question about it, and I will try to answer you, or ask also to the antiquarie man whom I bought this watch before.
The watch is exactly like we see in the picture, and this stay the best information about what we bought.
best regards
***WARNING - RETURN POLICY***
In any case, on ebay, it's when an item create a amazing feeling that many buyer make lot of auction, and in the same time when buyer sometimes after to winthe auction ask to give back what they bought, and to delete the selling. Strangely, when there is only 2 or 3 auctions, buyers are completely enjoyed by their selling.
1- If there is a very important and truely reason that a buyer could refuse an auction after to buy the item, the fact could be considere seriously, but it's not a game.
2-If there is also important reason and truely that the buyer after to receive the item, ask to give back, delete the selling and refund the money, it could be also considere, but the fact would take this way:
2a- the buyer have really important reason to refuse what he bought, and the seller is agree. Don't forget that the true real item you buy is the one you see on the picture. There is enough pics to look at it. Sometimes some designation, label and word create an amazing felling in the mind, and the buyer don't look at what he's trying to buy!! It could be sometimes mistake on the the world, because we are not professionnal seller; but You buy the watch designed on the pictures, and the watch is working perfectly.
2b- If buyer and seller are agree, the buyer can send back the item with a serious shipping connexion!! Seller need to sign a paper to receive back the item, & buyer need to receive a paper who means the item came back home without any problem!! The price os this shipping is to the charge of the buyer!! It's not wonderful idea to imagine that an expensive watch could travel all over the world for nothing.
2c- After this only, the seller could refund the money of the selling to the buyer, LESS 15% of charge in the total amount payed by the buyer. This fact will be in anyway respected. The tax of the money transfert would be on the charge of the seller, but the both could expect how to refund the money by the best way.
2d- After all this process, buyer and seller delete the selling, and have to be AGREE, by this transaction.
Best regards
No defect, perfect condition means that the mechanism is working wonderfuly, and give very preciely the good time. About the physical aspect of the watch who is owned and old one, the many different pictures show enought the normal condition of the watch. About the gold plated metal of the watch, I wanted make rectification on the title who announce only "Gold",I think there is only gold plated part on the watch, the 18K is written inside the watch, I heard in my family that 2 pieces (the crown and another one) was in rose gold.. but I can't certificate nothing about this. The VACHERON CONSTANTIN watch are not selling only about their metal. It could be better to find the good reference of this VACHERON watch to know all characteristics.
Best regards,
