I'M NOT INTO WATCHES, HOWEVER, MY FATHER GAVE ME A TIME PIECE THAT HE PURCHASED FOR TWO CARTONS OF CIGARETTES WHILE HE WAS IN THE NORWEGIAN MERCHANT MARINES. THE ENTIRE PIECE IS MADE UP OF 18K GOLD, EVEN THE WRIST BAND. THERE IS NO NAME ON THE FACE OF THE WATCH, BUT IT DOES SAY CHRONOGRAPH SUISSE ANTIMAGNETIC 17 RUBIS. HE TOOK POSSESSION OF THIS WATCH SOME TIME IN THE LATE 40'S EARLY 50'S. I AM GOING TO ATTACH A PHOTO OF THE WATCH SO MAYBE THERE IS SOMEONE OUT THERE THAT CAN TELL ME A LITTLE HISTORY ABOUT WHAT IS THE MAKER, VALUE ETC.... IF YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS NOW FEEL FREE TO RESPOND. | ||

These are fairly common chronographs with what is called "onion shell" 18k cases which are very very thin (almost paper thin). Value is generally in the $400-650 range. |
