I was given this watch 30 years ago.My wife was told in a retail shop that it would probably cost 3000 pounds stirling when new. I have my doubts! It is manual, no second hand,movement has serial No.2071588 or 33. The inside caseback is numbered 9046. Also PHC 18K 0,750. What do you think?  | ||

I'm afraid the retail shop was quite a bit off the mark. These models were introduced in the late 1960s and sold for approximately $185 new. Greg | ||

That's a hell of a difference. Story of my life! Never mind, now I can wear it and enjoy it! | ||

There are a couple of these up for bid on eBay right now. I suspect they will sell for more than $185, but a lot less than $6,000. Unfortunately, small, thin men's watches are not in fashion right now. Take care, gatorcpa | ||

$185 was the price when new in the 1960s (which is what the OP was asking about). Current auction value seems to be about $600-750. I sold a nearly identical model last month. Greg |
