Vintage Wittnauer "2000" Dress Watch w/Patina,Orig Band,Runs FOR PARTS/REPAIR

Description: ***********FOR PARTS/REPAIR - The automatic movement with quickset date will only run while the time is being set. As clearly seen in the pictures the oscillating weight is loose. The quickset date feature works flawlessly by pressing the top button. The bottom crown controls the "perpetual calendar" although this calendar is technically not perpetual as it only goes to the year 2015. A complete overhaul is required.***********This vintage 1970's first generation Wittnauer "2000" has a pristine bluish purple "JAPAN Y6404-013" stamped dial and the lume on the dial and hands, which remains fully intact and emits a quick burst glow after being exposed to bright light, has aged gracefully. The all stainless steel case case shows honest wear with no visible signs of oxidation. The outer edge of the case back is stamped "STAINLESS STEEL PATENT PENDING" with "W" followed by "WITTNAUER" and "2000" stamped in the center. The inside of the case back is stamped "WITTNAUER WATCH CO" and "JAPAN" followed by "STAINLESS STEEL,""2000" and "W102." The crystal should be replaced.The 17 jewels unadjusted Japan "W102" and "WITTNAUER WATCH CO." stamped automatic movement will only run when the time is being set. As clearly seen in the pictures the oscillating weight is loose. The quickset date feature works flawlessly by pressing the top button. The bottom crown controls the "perpetual calendar" although this calendar is technically not perpetual as it only goes to the year 2015. The non-screwdown top crown is not intended to be wound as the movement is self-winding. A complete overhaul is required.This watch measures approximately 42 mm excluding the crown, approximately 45 mm including the crown and approximately 18.75 mm between the lugs. Case thickness, measured from the bottom of the case back to the top of the fixed bezel, is approximately 8 mm. Including the crystal thickness measures approximately 10 mm. This watch comes on its original "W,""STAINLESS STEEL" and "MADE IN JAPAN" stamped bracelet showing moderate stretch. Set on the loosest clasp setting it's a bit loose on my approximate 6.5 inch wrist. I'd guesstimate that it may accommodate up to an approximate 6.75 inch wrist. A complete overhaul is required. As such there are no warranties, express or implied, attached with the sale of this watch.
