Description: *Hello and thank you for your interest in our listing. We ask kindly ask that you thoroughly read the entire listing, and carefully inspect all of the photographs. Great time and effort has gone into providing all of the relevant information in order to ensure the highest probability of a trouble-free and enjoyable experience for both buyer and seller. Bracelet adjustments available free of charge on request for purchased watches. Here we have an absolutely gorgeous ladies' vintage timepiece from Rotary. This is the Rotary 4578, which features a beautiful enamel white dial with gold-tone hands and applied hour markers. Covering the dial is a flat mineral glass crystal housed in a gold-tone, diamond encrusted case with a petite 19mm diameter. The matching diamond encrusted bracelet is integrated into the case and features a fold over clasp. Condition: Excellent! no wear to the plating, but there are little diamonds missing, which is very hard to notice at first glance due to the small size of the watch. This timepiece has been refurbished and has received the following work: • Stripped down - movement, dial, crown & stem, bracelet removed for case and bracelet cleaning. • Case, case back, crown, stem and bracelet cleaned with an ultrasonic cleaner. • New Renata 364 battery • New case back gasket • Case back gasket and crown O-ring silicone greased for optimum water-resistance. Specifications: Bracelet lenght: Case diameter: 18.7mm Case thickness: 5.5mm Movement: Swiss-made quartz Water resistance: Unknown/Not stated Crystal: Mineral glass, flat. Case construction: Gold-plated with diamonds *IMPORTANT INFORMATION please read. SHIPPING Free Tracked Royal Mail 48 postage on all of our items sold in Great Britain. Items are collected the next working day via Royal Mail - our collection time is usually around 9.00 am Monday-Saturday. Royal Mail 24 Tracked is available for as little as £1.50 and can be selected during checkout. (Other UK postage options are available on request for an additional cost) All overseas shipping is provided by the eBay Global Shipping Programme (GSP). This means you pay the shipping costs, taxes, customs, and fees directly to GSP. After your purchase, we are provided with a shipping label with your name, a unique reference number, and an address for the GSP unit. Once GSP receives the item from us it will then be shipped overseas to your address by them. Packaging: We are a very small business and we run a home workshop setup, so in the interest of recycling and cost-saving, your item may be sent in non-branded or re-used boxes. This is one of the ways how we can continue to offer free UK shipping through rising postage and packaging costs. Gift wrapping is available on request. HAVE AN ISSUE WITH YOUR PURCHASE? If so, it is really important to reach out and talk to us, please! We will go to great lengths to resolve any issues, whether it be postage-related, faulty or damaged items or something else entirely. Simply reach out and let us help you. All customers are provided with an A4 leaflet which includes multiple ways in which to contact us so that we can help you. Please DO NOT open a returns request without speaking to us first – eBay does not look after its genuine and honest sellers in the slightest, unfortunately, thus this option can be abused unfairly.And please remember that leaving unfair negative feedback for issues that we were either not informed about or are issues that are outside of our control, is extremely damaging and unfair. Just talk to us first, please, we care greatly! NO FREE RETURNS POSTAGE(on items that are NOT damaged or faulty!) We apologize for this, but we are simply too small to offer free returns on watches or other items unless said items are defective or damaged. Large retailers may offer free returns if you change your mind, or find that the watch doesn’t wear how you had hoped it would, etc. We cannot do this! Bear in mind that once a watch has been removed from its original packaging and sized up for the wearer, it is devalued and can no longer be resold as a 'new' watch. The loss in value, return postage, re-listing fees, etc, would far exceed what little profit we make. This is also why we go to great effort with detailed listings so you know exactly what you are buying.This is also one other way that we can continue to offer free shipping on purchases. Questions should always be asked if you're not unsure of anything before making a purchase, we are MORE than willing to help. NO OVERSEAS RETURNS! This is very important. Please take this into careful consideration when purchasing one of our watches from overseas. We simply cannot offer this service due to factors such as customs charges (which apply in your country as well as ours and are entirely out of our control), and often very expensive shipping costs - which would far exceed what little profit we make on such transactions. Thus, the only way we can continue to offer our watches to those overseas is by not offering free or return postage! CUSTOMS & IMPORT TAXES/FEES are completely outside of our control. These are factored in by the Global Shipping Program (GSP) and other countries' border customs/governments. Customers who abuse eBay policies to take advantage of sellers, or who choose to be rude and abusive will be blacklisted and blocked from purchasing from us. Most people out there are wonderful, but as we all know there are always a ‘few’ who are a little ‘less’ wonderful. We (me and my lovely wife) put a HUGE amount of effort into giving our customers a pleasant buyer experience; we treat people fairly, politely, and professionally – for this reason, we simply will not tolerate individuals who wish to treat us as if we are a giant, heartless, money-grabbing corporation... I assure you that we are not, thus we do not wish to be treated as such. WHO ARE WE? We are Jason & Kim, husband, and wife, best friends; together we are 'KimSon' Watchmakers. 'LFTR' pays homage to my (Jason’s) former career as a Nuclear Engineer designing fuelling systems for nuclear reactors. We are passionate watch enthusiasts with a desire to run our business with what we like to think of as a good ‘old-fashioned’ approach; we want to build great relationships with long-term customers, offer a personal service, and go that extra mile, or more, for those who trust us to provide the best service possible. We want to share our love of watches and the stories that often come with them and to offer affordable timepieces and services to those who are kind enough to trust us. What does it mean to buy a refurbished watch? We buy pre-owned, vintage, and new/old stock watches that may be looking a little bit sorry for themselves. Watches we purchase for refurbishment have often been left in a drawer, some are unwanted gifts, or simply forgotten about when someone buys a new watch. We take those watches and give them a second life... it’s also an excellent way to recycle. First and foremost this means stripping the watch down to remove the movement and dial so the following work can be done – ULTRASONIC CLEANING: The watch case, the case back, bracelet, setting stem, and crown are thoroughly cleaned with an ultrasonic cleaner. Nylon straps are also cleaned this way.More delicate plastic parts will be cleaned by hand to prevent damage. BATTERY REPLACEMENT: Battery-powered watches are fitted with a new, premium cell(s) (we use Renata, Panasonic, Rayovac, Murata, and Maxell). CRYSTAL POLISH OR REPLACEMENT: Once the watch case has been cleaned the crystal (watch face) can be replaced if it is deemed too scratched or damaged (for both mineral and acrylic glass crystals), or polished if they are acrylic plastic crystals. POLISHING: Stainless steel cases, case backs, and bracelets may be given a light polish, and re-brushing where required. Cases that are plated cannot always be safely polished due to the risk of removing too much plating. In some cases, we will use a low-cut, filler-glaze, and wax-based polish to help improve and protect scuffed plating. Bracelets and claps with a brushed finish will be re-brushed after polishing. MOVEMENT REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT: If a watch arrives with a faulty quartz battery-powered movement or module it will either be replaced with a new or reconditioned item or repaired with new or used parts (this will always be mentioned in the listing description). If a quartz movement is working it will be placed back into the watch on reassembly - this is the case 95% of the time.Mechanical movements will be inspected for obvious signs of issues and checked using a timegrapher to ensure they are at least fit for sale and operating as they should be. GASKETS AND O-RINGS: Upon reassembly the case back gasket will practically always be replaced with a new one unless the original is of a special design, or still in satisfactory condition. The new or old gasket will always be greased with silicone grease to ensure the best possible water resistance, and to protect the seal from mechanical damage when refitting. The winding/setting stem/ crown tube or pusher o-ring(s) will be replaced if necessary and re-greased as above. If a watch is fitted with additional pushers these will be removed and the same process is applied. FINISHING TOUCHES: The icing on the cake is a new leather, nylon, or steel strap to finish the refurbishment. **Refurbishment does NOT include major in-depth restoration or servicing of quartz or mechanical movements. Watches that have undergone restoration and/or servicing will be listed as such in the description. Thank you so much for taking the time to read these lengthy listings, but they are lengthy in order to help everyone have the most trouble-free and enjoyable experience possible. Kindest regards Jason & Kim, KimSon LFTR Watchmakers
