Re: Difficult one for the seller
In Response To: Difficult one for the seller ()

That's a good point there Mark, it is a rare watch with as you say, a value of X amount because of the gold case etc but, it's a quartz movement. Where is cut off point between a quartz diver made of gold and say, a cal11 Autavia Siffert? I mean is it worth that much, even though it's gold? Would they be worth the same??

David H

: The trading price for gold puts a hard floor on what you can
: sensibly ask for the watch of circa £3.3k/€3.7k/$5.3k and,
: though we know there are collectors of Heuer divers, that price
: is already possibly a bit rich. For a very niche watch. I hope
: they do find a buyer though, it would be a shame to scrap it for
: bullion.
