I am by no means a professional when it comes to watches. To the best of my knowledge, yes. I auctioned the same one,only silver toned a couple of weeks ago, and all she had to do was change the battery. If f there is a prroblem, I would certainly return ones credits!
I honestly don't know. My Auntie passed away a few months back. She was a hoarder to the 10th degree! Needless to say I acquired tons of stuff from her estate, including several pocket watches. This is the 3rd I put up for auction and will be putting a couple more up in the next 2 weeks. I don't think they are Antique, or Vintage tho. Sorry I;m not much help..
thank you for answering my quesiton! whatever it is made of, it is a beautiful piece. im sorry your auntie passed away. take care. sheri in lake tahoe :-)
