I bought this watch last December and plan on wearing it for a very long time. I would appreciate an estimation of its' value. Thanks, Brent  |

As a quartz watch it will have minimal to no collector following, so value with be quite low. It's not something that will appreciate over time. |

I have received information from Longines that my watch was manufactured in 1991. It has a VHP (Very High Precision) Quartz movement wit accuracy of about 7 to 10 seconds a year as compared to the traditional quartz movement of about 7 to 10 seconds a month. If is stainless steel and 18K gold plated. The gold is over a layer of titanium. It retailed for 2790 Swiss Francs and $2,500 US dollars as new in 1991. |

In my opinion it is not a future collectible, but I do not have a crystal ball either. |
