Hello Of today i am looking for thoughts on this really neat looking powermatic Cal 481 Bumper movement (serviced) 18 k solid gold (rose ish) The dial shows some possible moisture damage in the past? Has anyone seen any of these sell in recent years ? I see one stainless version was sold on this forum, but have yet to see a solid gold, "sold" listing. A google search showed a few sold online but, the prices seemed ridiculous, $3000 + See photos, Please let me know what you think, what is a fair price on one of these ? i do not know much about JLC but i love the red in the gold.
The dial isn't appealing to me personally, but I'm guessing that's not what you wanted to hear. I spent a few minutes googling, and auction prices weren't too hard to find. I'm going to say that the price range for these is roughly $1k-$2k depending on condition, and this would be closer to the bottom end IMO.
I concur. Price is going to be based on gold weight of the case, which at over $1,800 per oz. is likely to be in the $1,000 range. Add another few hundred for the dial (original, IMO) and movement and there you go. gatorcpa
