Greetings,

I recently inherited the watch below. It was purchased on Sept 6 1966, and is still in the original box with all papers. No one in the family can ever recall my great-uncle wearing the watch, and it may well never have been worn (this is something my uncle would have done).

It keeps very good time, but the date hangs up a little bit. I'm hoping that this will be fixed with a good professional cleaning.

I would appreciate any information or comments on this particular model, including insurance value. The back says, "14K gold top and stainless st. back" "1200" and "use all proof wrench"

Thank you,

Steve

Hi. I don't have any model specifics other than it's a Master Mariner. Many many case styles & dials had that name. Assuming you have an exceptional box & papers example, as a steel back model, I'd ballpark insurance value at $1000-$1200.
