Hi,

New here, I was trying to find out a little info on this watch i acquired a while back. It has the markings for a 1932 or 1942 watch. I cant seem to find any info on this watch or what it might be worth. Number on the back of th case is 2086646 It appears to be gold plated and is in working condition.

I do not sorry. The gold plated rectangular watches are very soft right now. So $125 or less is about right. You may not find a buyer at $125 or may have to wait a while to get it.

I have just purchased a 14k Gold BULOVA LI APEX. It is in beautiful condition. I bought it for $595 and have seen some being sold for as high at $750 but from the chat, I am uncertain if I have over paid. Can you help? I am attaching a photo. thanks, K

It's probably a little high but not horribly so especially if the dealer has sevrviced it and stands behind it.
