Here for sale is a
vintage Mappin’s automatic day-date wristwatch
, powered by a
Swiss ETA 2789 25 jewel automatic movement with Incabloc shock protection
.
The watch is currently
running and keeping time
, and the movement appears clean.
The watch features a
gold tone cushion case
, attractive
two-tone dial with blue hour markers
, and a
day/date complication
.
During cleaning of the case I removed the stem and crown. When reinserting the stem it occasionally engages the date change but does not always seat correctly. The stem can be removed again but I have decided
not to force it further to avoid damaging the movement
.
Because of this the watch is being sold
as requiring attention / repair
, likely relating to the
keyless works or stem seating
. A watchmaker or experienced collector should be able to resolve this.
Condition overall is good for its age with typical light wear to the case and crystal.
The watch presents very well and would make a
nice restoration project or parts piece
.
Please study the photographs carefully as they form an important part of the description.
Watch is sold
as-is due to the stem issue
.
