Can anyone tell me what is the comparative value of an unissued (no marking) military watch to an issued one (assuming we are comparing the same watch in the same overall condition). Thanks, Danny

The biggest problem with an unissued watch, if there is such a thing, is that there is no way to tell if it is actually a military watch or not.

Short of certain models which were not available to civilians, you'll always have a lot of explaining to do. Therefore the value of a watch that has no markings or is not a military only piece will be greatly reduced.

I you give me a specifc example of a watch I can try to guess value.

This is a fairly rare watch perhaps a few thousand made in the early 1950s.

I have a Tag Heuer Quartz Saphire Crystal 200m diver watch model number s93.313c in mint condition purchased new by original owner circa 1991. What is its value?

With just about any modern watch it will be a fraction of the original retail, somewhere between 20 and 40%.
