Vintage 1960's Croton Reliance Midsize All SS Watch w/Warm Patina,Lorsa P72 Mvmt

Description: ***********The Lorsa P72 manual wind movement keeps accurate time over its approximate 38 hour power reserve period. Given the movement's unknown service history a complete overhaul is likely long overdue and recommended. Additionally this is a midsize watch, measuring approximately 33 mm excluding the crown, approximately 35.5 mm including the crown and approximately 18 mm between the lugs.***********This vintage Croton Reliance, which came from the estate of its original owner, has a satin silvery champagne dial that is in lovely but not perfect condition as it shows age-related wear. Majority of the imperfections seen are on the crystal, not the dial. The lume, which remains fully intact and emits a faint, short-lived glow on only the dial after being exposed to bright light, has aged gracefully. The midsize all stainless steel case shows honest wear with no signs of oxidation. The outer edge of the case back is stamped "ALL STAINLESS STEEL - SHOCKRESISTANT - WATERPROOF." The crystal shows scratching and dust/debris on its underbelly. In my humble opinion the crystal presents markedly better in person. The 21 jewels Lorsa P72 manual wind movement keeps accurate time. After recently winding the non-screwdown crown 31 full revolutions the movement had an approximate 38 hour power reserve period. The crown winds smoothly. Given the movement's unknown service history a complete overhaul is likely long overdue and recommended. This watch measures approximately 33 mm excluding the crown, approximately 35.5 mm including the crown and approximately 18 mm between the lugs. Case thickness, measured from the bottom of the case back to the top of the fixed bezel, is approximately 6 mm. Including the crystal thickness measures approximately 8.5 mm. A complete overhaul is recommended. As such there are no warranties, express or implied, attached with the sale of this watch. Vintage means old and while my personal belief is that old-school means better quality and workmanship, things can and do go wrong from time to time. Any servicing costs going forward are your responsibility. Please thoroughly read this entire listing and kindly ask any and all questions you may have prior to buying as this sale is final and no refunds of any kind will be given. And please study the 16 high magnification pictures carefully as they are part of the description and serve as an accurate representation of the condition of this watch. Expedited and insured shipping along with signature confirmation will be provided.
