Couple years ago, I bought two 14-karat gold Omega ladie's watches that were in far better cosmetic shape than the subject watch, an 18-karat, diamond set Gruen ladie's watch, and a gold filled ladie's Wittnauer, for $200.00, total. The subject watch would be worth scrap value for the case and tiny stones (nearly worthless), and whatever the movement would bring, for parts! Ruthless? Yup! But the truth!
