I had inherited this desk clock from my grandfather and i'd just like some more info on it. I've done some research already and i'm just curious as to what you guys might know about it. I'll get pictures of it up tomorrow as I don't have my camera with me right now. But I know its a 15 Jewels Switzerland Unadjusted. I've read that its worth somewhere around $800-$1000 USD. the Serial number is 391181. underneath it says Metal Caliber 528-8 If that helps at all. It looks like this except a couple minor differences. As said before I will get pictures up ASAP so that you know exactly what i'm dealing with. |

Doing a little more re-search i've dated the clock to be manufactured around May of 1973. |

Sorry, I guess I should have stated a little more clear what i'm looking for. Pretty much just what its really worth. I have it at a shop right now getting an estimate on cleaning. Pristine condition, all original, don't have any papers or original box though. |

I just bought one almost identical to this one (serial 39x,xxx) in fully working condition for $500. Some minor brass wear on the case, otherwise perfect. hope this helps. |

$500 for a perfectly working one is on the low side. $800 for one that's just been serviced is more typical. |
