Description: Please take the time to read all of the following sections if you are considering placing a bid/ purchasing my item. Thank you. Item Description:Hello! And thank you for taking the time to view my item. For sale here is a Vintage Men's Bulova wrist watch. The watch is from the vintage Oceanograph collection with a model/ reference number of R-307. The watch houses an in house 17 jewel automatic movement with caliber 1132.10, with a base movement of 2873. The watch has a date code of N9 and is from 1979. I have done a multi-day time test to confirm that the watch is keeping accurate time. The watch face is SILVER in color (the pictures make the dials look beige, please see the first picture for an unedited picture taken in natural lighting) and features an analog display, an easy to read dial, an acrylic crystal, a 17 jewels Swiss movement, a date indicator, and a 35.5mm stainless steel case with the original 17mm stainless steel bracelet that taper to 16mm near the buckle. The watch is in excellent condition for being pre owned, with no damage and minimal signs of wear. The listing is for just the watch as shown and describe, there is no original box or papers unfortunately. On a 1-10 scale (with the following rating, 1-3 very poor, 4-5 more than average used, 6-8 average wear, 9 new, 10 brand new/ mint condition), the condition of the watch is as follows: overall-7.75, crystal-7.75, bezel-7.75, case-7.75, back-7.5 (Engraved NLC on the back), crown-7.75, band-7.25, clasp-7.25, box/paperwork-N/A. Watch is checked and confirmed to be 100% authentic, so bid with confidence. All components of the watch are original. All my watches are tested and keep excellent time. Please reference the pictures as they are part of the description. Please feel free to message me if you have any comments or questions. Thank you. General Item ConditionAll the items I sell are uncleaned in the original condition I receive them in. I don't like to risk damaging a watch or piece of jewelry by cleaning it wrong or using the wrong cleaning supplies. With that being said, pre-owned or heavily used items may need a good cleaning and will often times clean up very nicely. Please see the pictures and judge for yourself. New items of course don't have this issue. Also note, because of the intense flash on my camera, it can make tarnish look like rust on silver jewelry, and make a brushed finish on gold jewelry or watches look like intense micro scratching. Rest assured, if there is heavy micro scratching it will be noted above. Specifics:Handling time: I will ship within 1 days of getting payment, often times same day if I can.Paying time: Please pay within 48 hours of winning. If payment is not received within 4 days of the auction, and you have not communicated to me, I will assume you are not interested in paying for the item and will go ahead and cancel the transaction on your behalf, as I will assume you are asking me to cancel the transaction by not paying. Shipping is to the 50 US states and territories. If you are an international buyer, you need to contact me PRIOR to bidding. If you do not contact me prior to bidding to discuss shipping costs and options, you will be subject to whatever shipping costs and service I choose. I will choose the most safe and secure way, which is often very pricey. So please just contact me prior to buying. Priority mail shipping padded envelope $9.95. Priority is recommended. Also able to ship first class mail for $6.95.If the item(s) you purchase totals more than $750, eBay requires that I use signature confirmation on the shipment. I may add signature confirmation on lower valued packages as well, just for peace of mind and more security for both of us. Combine shipping:I will always do my best to combine shipping. Usually I can just add two items to the same package, and it can ship for the price of one. Sometimes the additional items add weight, so I will do my best to lower the shipping costs and combine the orders for you. You must wait to receive a combined invoice from me prior to paying. If you pay without receiving a combined invoice you will not get your addition shipping charges back, and I will still ship the items in the same package. Because of the size of some items (or the weight or some other constraint), I cannot offer combine shipping. I usually mention this above in the red item description, but sometimes I forget. Combine shipping is not guaranteed, but I will always do my best to make it less expensive for you. My Guarantee:Customer satisfaction is my number one priority. If you are not 100% satisfied for whatever reason, please let me know and I will do my best to make the transaction go as smoothly as possible. Feedback is also very important to me because I am a small business on eBay. + Feedback will be left for you as soon as payment is received AND item is shipped (Please allow up to 72 hours for this as I am sometimes very busy!). If for some reason you feel that you cannot leave me + feedback, please email me first so we can resolve the issue as quickly as possible. Returns are accepted, UNLESS otherwise stated above in the item description (red). Returns are not allowed for items that are sold for parts/ repair, or for items sold AS-IS. I will accept the return if there is damage from shipping and will also refund you if your package is lost in transit (Only for US buyers). Please contact me before sending anything back! We can do an item exchange if I have more of that item available or a full refund which will include your original shipping (granted something was wrong with the item, if you just changed your mind or something, your shipping cost will not be refunded); this does not include your return shipping expenses though. Shipping items back should be free through eBay. The Jewelry and Watch OutletMy name is Ryan and I reside in Southern California. I've been on eBay since 2007. I've sold a lot of things over the years, but now focus primarily on jewelry, watches, precious metals, diamonds, and coins. I have over 10 years experience with jewelry, watches, and coins. I'm an avid watch collector myself, and have been collecting for over 10 years now. Currently seeking a Rolex DP4K 116600 that was only in production for two years. I recently graduated SDSU in May of 2019 with a degree in business management with a focus in entrepreneurship. Since graduating, I have been assisting my friend at his jewelry store, as well as focusing on my own business as well. I've begun and plan to follow through with the courses offered at GIA (Gemologist Institute of America) to get my Graduate Gemologist diploma. At the time of writing this, I am almost finished with the diamonds portion of the course. I've been able to pay for my education as well as living expenses from the sales I've done here on eBay. I appreciate your business and you taking the time to read through this. If you decide to place a bid/ make a purchase, just know the money is going to be well used and I greatly appreciate it. Thank you!
