You folks seem incredibly knowledgable . . . so I thought I would ask about this watch, which, I'm told, my father bought from a friend of his in the 1950s. It is yellow gold (forgive the photo), and is very thick and heavy. (I have it on a croc band, but I also have the 24k gold band that my father wore it on.) It's not really my style - I'm more of a Timex Indiglo guy - and though it has some sentimental value, I thought I might sell it. Any idea of value; how best to sell such things; etc.? Thanks. PS: Reposting b/c I think I posted under the wrong heading last time. Sorry bout that ...  | ||

A few additional pics (just figured out how to set the digi on macro . . . lol). Thanks    | ||

That is one pretty watch, with those fancy lugs. You should have no trouble selling it. | ||

If it is 18k value is around $1500-2000 all depends on condition & originality. | ||

Thanks so much. From reading posts on here, I believe it is 18k, as the case is stamped with an "A". And, since I got curious about it the other day, I asked my mother and was told that - other than regular cleanings - it has never been worked on, restored, etc. since purchased in the 50s. Appreciate the help. | ||

If is it a pristine original, I'd suggest holding on to it, value of such items will only go up. It would be a shame to sell a family piece anyways. | ||

Sounds right to me. Thanks again. |
