Haven't had one is a while in two tone, but I'd estimate around $3000-3300. Pay attention to the bracelet stretch and deduct accordingly. The bracelet in the photo looks like it's stretched out and polished.

Thank You for your response. Could you help me understand a little more about bracelet stretch? I didn't know a bracelet like this one could stretch and how would I know how much to deduct? Is it a bad thing if it's been polished? Thanks Again, Mike

The links are normally tight against each other, you seem to have rather large gaps between the links. That is stretch. How much to deduct is up o you, perhaps up to $250-300.

If it is heavily polished yes, i.e. all sharp edges are rounded. All this is hard to determine from the photo.
