Tag Heuer Monte Carlo Rally Vintage Dashboard Stopwatch

Description

Tag Heuer Monte Carlo Rally Vintage Timer from 1966/68, serial number  " 15178"  ,in partial working condition with some cosmetic wear. Please check the items description.
The item is working but because the minutes hand doesn't fully reset to the "60" mark (where would be 12 o'clock in a watch) and resets slowly like you see in the video, it might need some cleaning/service. The best description i can give when pressing the reset button is that i get a little resistance, as if something is not well oiled/dirty.
Hence why i decided to choose "for parts of not working", because ebay demands products that need service etc to be in the "for parts or not working category".   I also didn't the buyer to later on feel like i scammed them and wasn't fully transparent.
This item is very rare to find and it's a perfect addition to a car/rally enthusiasts´s collection.
Please take a look at my excellent feedback for peace of mind when purchasing.
