    The elusive invisible watch. The value is hard to assess.

    It's the new forum feature, images on posts without Avatars go translucent.

    To me, the main point of a collecting hobby is researching the pieces you inherit or find, and learning their history as well as their current value. I inherited a painting done in 1930 by a relatively important artist (not especially valuable, alas :( ) and I bet I could tell you more about that artist and the painting's first owner (a well-known art collector whose holdings were scattered after he died in a 1944 plane crash) than anyone at Christie's or Sotheby's (even though Sotheby's predecessor Parke-Bernet auctioned the piece off in 1946). Both of them were fascinating people. So, I suggest the OP research until he can educate us about his piece, not the other way around. I'll look for his findings. ::popcorn::

    Though I don't disagree with you, this could just be part of OPs research. What's said here (after the pic is actually uploaded), could lead him down a path to finding out more.

    True, there's more to this hobby than just stacking it up like coins, more the better and all that. I actually appreciate the whole reading about the watch's history and the kind of times it must have gone through...and kept time for ( pun intended). Having said that, I've been reading in and around this forums for several months now, and, cautious that I am, I still am yet to make my FIRST purchase! ( this is embarassing to admit ). Oh well, I will start my own collection soon... :)

    Can we have this one as a sticky as an example of an absolutely meaningless, useless and fruitless posting?
