It works perfectly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt will be delivered after rigorous inspection by GIB craftsmen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAccessories: None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eText: Shunsuke Saga\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInspector: Inagawa\u003cbr\u003eProduct Photography: Higashie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGIB 3-Month Warranty\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e◯About the GIB and TONIQ Warranty\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e●Repurchase Price Guarantee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you sell your item within 6 months of purchase, we will guarantee the repurchase price.
