§ 117.086 DEFINITION OF SECOND-HAND WATCHES.
   A watch shall be second-hand if:
   (A)   As a whole or the case thereof or the movement thereof has been previously sold to or acquired by any person who bought or acquired the same for his or her use or the use of another, but not for re-sale; provided, however, that a watch which has been so sold or acquired and is thereafter returned either through an exchange or for credit to the original individual firm, partnership, association or corporation who sold or passed title to such watch, shall not be deemed to be a second-hand watch for the purposes of this act, if such vendor shall keep a written or printed record setting forth the name of the purchaser thereof, the date of the sale or transfer thereof and the serial number (if any) on the case and the movement, and any other distinguishing numbers or identification marks, which the record shall be kept for at least five years from the date of such sale or transfer and shall be open for inspection during all business hours by the prosecutor of the pleas of the county in which such vendor is engaged in business or his or her duly authorized representative;
   (B)   Case serial numbers or movement numbers or other distinguishing numbers or identification marks shall be erased, defaced, removed, altered or covered; or
   (C)   If its movement is more than five years old and has been repaired by any person or persons, including the vendor, notwithstanding that it may have been returned either through an exchange or for credit to the original vendor. Cleaning and oiling a watch movement or recasing the moving in a new case shall not be deemed a watch repair for the purposes of this section.
