Good morning Zaf, Here's another white gold Gruen from the 20's. It's all original accept for the band. The seller has said that it has been serviced and runs beautifully and has lowered the price to $350. Is that a good deal? Thank you!

I don't think it's a good deal, no. Most ladies watches are worth gold melt + diamond value in general. The gold is probably around $50, so the question is, are the diamonds worth that much? Probably not.

Just for curiosity's sake which women's watches would be the exception to this rule? Take care.

Patek, Rolex, Vacheron and a hand full of others.

Something like Bulova, Gruen, Hamilton, mid range Swiss name, etc, will always be only slightly above the value of the materials.
