24K "GOLD-TONED" 1939 INGERSOLL MICKEY MOUSE "FLUTED STYLE" WRISTWATCH.
THE WRISTWATCH SET IS IN OVERALL
EXCELLENT PLUS
CONDITION WITH MINIMAL COSMETIC AND/OR CONSTRUCTION DISTRACTIONS.
THE GOLD-TONE FINISH ON THE CASE, BUCKLE AND WIND-UP DIAL(CROWN) ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION(USUALLY HAS RUB WEAR AND IN SOME CASES, THE GOLD IS COMPLETED RUBBED OFF).
THE GOLD-TONED VERSION WAS MANUFACTURED IN LIMITED QUANTITIES COMPARED TO THE CHROMED METAL VERSION THAT YOU SEE ALL THE TIME.
THE GOLD-TONED VERSION WAS A MORE EXPENSIVE OPTION WHEN ORIGINALLY OFFERED.
THE ORIGINAL LEATHER BAND SHOWS ONLY THE LIGHT WEAR.
THE BAND HAS A COLOR PALATE AND DESIGN THAT "POPS" THE GOLD-TONE FINISH ON THE WATCH LIKE A PERFECTLY FRAMED FINE PIECE OF ART.
THE BAND FURTHER "POPS" THE GOLD-TONE THEME BY HAVING A GOLD-TONE BUCKLE.
THE BAND WITH WATCH MEASURE APPROXIMATELY 7 1/2" LONG FROM END-TO-END.
I RECENTLY HAD THE WATCH DETAIL SERVICED BY A HIGHLY RESPECTED VINTAGE WATCHMAKER (5 INVESTMENT) .
THE SERVICING VINTAGE WATCHMAKER HAS PROVIDED A SIGNED CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY WHICH WILL GO TO THE NEW OWNER OF THIS WONDERFUL WRISTWATCH.
I TESTED THE WATCH FOR A 17 HOUR RUN AND THE CORRECT TIME WAS  ONLY OFF BY BEING 5 MINUTES FAST(WELL WITHIN ACCURACY EXPECTATIONS FOR THESE OLD MECHANICAL WATCHES). THE WATCH CONTINUED TO RUN AFTER I ENDED MY TEST.
THERE IS NO GUARANTEE AS TO HOW LONG THAT SAME ACCURACY CAN BE SUSTAINED OVER MORE TIME.
IF ONE OF THESE 80-YEAR-OLD TIMEPIECES CAN KEEP ACCURATE TIME TO WITHIN 30 TO 45 MINUTES OVER A 24 HOUR PERIOD, THAT IS CONSIDERED TO BE WITHIN AN ACCEPTABLE RANGE TO EXPECT BY CREDENTIALED AND RESPECTED VINTAGE WATCHMAKERS.
PLEASE NOTE: A vintage collectible timepiece will not keep as accurate a time as a modern quartz wristwatch or cellular telephone and nor should it be expected to. If total accuracy is what you desire or need, then there are many quartz watches available at a fraction of the cost.
UNLIKE MOST VINTAGE WATCHMAKERS, THIS WATCH HAD THE FOLLOWING DONE TO THE SAME WHEN DETAIL SERVICED:
ALL THE PARTS WERE COMPLETELY DISMANTLED BEFORE BEING INSERTED INTO A SPECIAL ULTRA-SOUND CLEANING PROCESS. ONCE THE PARTS ARE COMPLETELY CLEANED OF OLD OILS, ETC., THEY ARE PAINSTAKINGLY PUT BACK TOGETHER AND PLACED BACK INTO THE CASING. THE NEW OIL USED IS OF THE HIGHEST GRADE AVAILABLE. MOST WATCHMAKERS WILL SIMPLY PUT THE INTERNAL PARTS WHILE STILL ASSEMBLED THROUGH THE SAME TYPE OF CLEANING PROCESS AND THEN PUT THE ASSEMBLY BACK INTO THE CASE. DOING THE CLEANING THIS WAY WILL ONLY REMOVE APPROXIMATELY 60% OF ALL THE OLD OILS AND OTHER SUBSTANCES THAT NEED TO BE REMOVED. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT KNOWLEDGE TO HAVE.
IT IS BECOMING MORE AND MORE IMPORTANT TO HAVE VINTAGE WATCHES CERTIFIED BY RESPECTED VINTAGE WATCHMAKERS AS BOGUS PARTS ARE COMMON WHEN FOUND ON THE INSIDES OF THE SAME CONSTANTLY. THERE WERE MILLIONS OF VINTAGE DIME WATCHES MADE AND IT IS EASY TO CANNIBALIZE PARTS FROM THE SAME AND PLACE INSIDE THESE HIGHER END VINTAGE WATCHES. I HAVE OWNED AND SOLD HUNDREDS OF VINTAGE DISNEY/INGERSOLL WATCHES OVER THE YEARS AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN SO MANY OF THE SAME COME THROUGH MY HANDS THAT ARE GREAT LOOKING, BUT END UP WITH BOGUS PARTS THAT ARE NOT SEEN.
