Description: c1940RARE MEN'S 43MM CURVEX CASED BULOVA "MINUET MAN" 2TONE DIAL WATCH~KEEPS TIME. Item Is Pre-Owned; Item Is Sold "AS IS"; Shipped USPS GROUND ADVANTAGE. Offered for your consideration is this attractive and scarce 17 jewel caliber 7AP Bulova "Minuet Man" wristwatch. The timepiece measures approximately 43mm from lug to lug and 21mm in width not including the crown. Handsomely styled, it has a very distinctive long curved case reminiscent of other Curvex timepieces of the era. The sides have a slightly stepped design with a gently sloping groove running its entire length sweeping gracefully into the curved solid lugs. As expected, there is minor finish wear, as well as scratches consistent with its age; the rear contains the dedication shown in the pictures. The rich 10k rolled gold bezel is in good condition. The crystal is clear, clean and without major issues permitting an unobstructed view of the aged, unique gold and purple dial with gold Roman hour indicators and large sub seconds dial. The signed Bulova caliber 7AP manual wound movement presently winds, sets and keeps good time; however, unerring accuracy cannot be guaranteed, nor should it be expected. If one hundred percent accuracy is required a cleaning and adjustment is recommended. Attached is a like new Lizo Calf band; the watches entire length is approximately 8 inches. Please review all the pictures as they represent far more accurately the items condition than any verbal description that I can provide. In those situations where you are uncertain or unsure, ask questions, before bidding. Don't assume. Asking questions will ensure that you receive what you expect. Most if not all of the horological items which I present for auction are from watchmakers' estates which have been in storage for a number of years. Consequently, I have no details as to their prior history nor can I offer any information other than what has been gleaned from cursory observation. Now for the boring stuff: Please study the photographs closely as they are considered part of the description. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me prior to bidding. There are no refunds. I do not accept returns because you thought that it was something different, or you changed your mind. All items are deemed sold "AS IS" unless there is a material error in the description. In that rare event, an item may be returned for a full refund, minus shipping cost, if applicable. We do not offer, nor give partial refunds. The item must be returned in the same condition and with the same packaging and paperwork, if any, with which it was sent. Payment is due within three days of auction end unless you have contacted us prior to make alternate arrangements. Payments not received within four days will be reported to eBay as a non-payment. Your bid will thereafter be cancelled and the item relisted.
