Great site! Glad I found it.

Unfortunatley, it's probably time when I'll have to sell a few things to help with expenses, etc. You know how it goes.

Is it best to sell a watch like this as is (for the gold, diamonds (56)? Is there additional model value? In which case, is it better to have it restored/cleaned (face/hands) before selling it? It still works well.

The back only says, B&M 14k. The band also says 14k.

I would say with gold as high as it is, that's going to be the majority of the value of this watch so I'd just sell it for the gold. The diamonds will add a little but not much, small diamonds are not worth a lot.

Thanks very much for the info. I'm not at all surprised about the diamonds. I always thought they were rather overated anyway. :-)
