1950’s DOXA (Swiss) Vintage Dress Watch – 17j Doxa Cal. 103 (ETA Cal. 2391)

What a great gift idea! I have a soft spot for this type of dress watches, they are really classy and you can easily imagine them on the wrist of a lady; how sexy would that be, right? This dress watch by DOXA has been professionally inspected in-house here at Localtime. It boasts a silver-white sunburst dial with metal applied indices and centre seconds. The screw-down stainless steel case measures in at 34mm or 36.50mm counting the crown at 3h and carries a 17j manual wind Doxa Cal. 103 which is based on the ETA Cal. 2391. It is wearing one of my own genuine crocodile straps (handmade in Italy) in a beautiful burgundy/purple colour that, in my humble opinion, fits it quite nicely. We also sell these straps separately, here.  As with all the watches we handle inhouse, the listed price includes a 3-month written warranty from the time of purchase. Do not hesitate to contact us for any further information you might need.

Important Note: Sometimes I am asked what I exactly mean with ‘professionally inspected by Localtime’. Here is my theory on vintage watches: as a purveyor of vintage watches, my effort is to always do only what is needed to the watch. I do not buy ‘junk’ watches to resell. I am choosy with my purchases and always sell watches that are, to my knowledge, authentic and in good condition. I first inspect the watch, both visually (cosmetically) and then mechanically. If I judge that the watch is not yet in need of a full service then I do not put the watch through a service which, by the way, entails a lot of risks too. Instead, I give it what I call my ‘Spa’ treatment which will include a cleaning, changing of gaskets, oiling, lubricating and mechanical testing. If the plexi is heavily scratched or discoloured and it can not be cleaned, I change it. If the crown is wrong or worn, I also change it. Now, if the watch is in need of a full service, then my ‘professionally inspected’ description becomes ‘professionally serviced’. In both cases, I mention what has been changed (if anything) on the watch and I include a written warranty with my listed price.

Important Note On Straps/Bracelets: The straps I use on my watches (leather, canvas, suede, rubber) are always brand new, unless otherwise mentioned and, in most cases, I also sell them separately in my store, in different colours and sizes. In the case of metal bracelets, if the watch is NOS, the bracelet is also unused. If the watch is pre-owned with its original bracelet, then the bracelet is also pre-owned, unless otherwise mentioned. Either way, if in doubt, please ask.
