Hello, would anyone have any idea on what this 1950 Butex Chrono with 18K rose gold case is worth? I have attached pictures of the front, back, and inside. It is working well but is about to go for a cleaning and lubication.

Thanks Larry

Around $500-600 in running condition. Unless I am mistaken, the gold on these is very thin.

Hi Zaf, thank you very much. My mon purchased this for my Dad in 1950, so it has sentimental value. The caseback is very thin. Overall the watch works well, and keeps good time the Chrono work well too. I will have it cleaned and lubricated and change the band back to Crocodile.

Thanks Larry
