Description: ***********The manual wind movement runs about 2 hours fast by the end of its approximate 14 hour power reserve period. Given that the movement runs fast, has a weak power reserve and considering its unknown service history a complete overhaul is long overdue and recommended. Additionally, this is midsize watch, measuring approximately 31 mm excluding the crown, approximately 33 mm including the crown and approximately 16 mm between the lugs.*********** This vintage 1950's Wyler Incaflex has a lovely toned "SWISS" only signed dial and the lume, which no longer glows after being exposed to bright light, has aged gracefully. The all stainless steel midsize case shows honest wear with signs of oxidation. The outside of the case back is stamped "STAINLESS STEEL" followed by "71952" and "1903-9." The crystal shows scratching. While I normally show pictures of the movements of watches I put up for sale the movement in this watch can only be accessed through the crystal. The manual wind movement runs strong, albeit fast. After recently winding the non-screwdown crown 15 full revolutions the movement gained about 2 hours by the end of its approximate 14 hour power reserve period. The crown winds with an appropriate amount of tension. Given that the movement runs fast, has a weak power reserve and considering its unknown service history a complete overhaul is likely long overdue and recommended. This watch measures approximately 31 mm excluding the crown, approximately 33 mm including the crown and approximately 16 mm between the lugs. Case thickness, measured from the bottom of the mid-case to the top of the fixed bezel, is approximately 5 mm. Including the crystal thickness measures approximately 8 mm. This watch comes on a stretch Speidel band. 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 12 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. Thanks for looking!***********The manual wind movement runs about 2 hours fast by the end of its approximate 14 hour power reserve period.
