I have a vintage never worn 14 karat yellow gold Seamaster De Ville from 1975 new in the box. The only caveat is it was engraved by the company that presented it for 25 years of service. Can anyone tell me how that affects the price?

I'd say it will affect it a bit, but how much will depend on the inscription, quality of engraving and wheter or not the caseback is plain or with Seamonster. I don't mind inscriptions if they are well done and it certainly wouldn't put me off an otherwise attractive watch.

Do you have more pictures?

Well I think in this case the full set will trump any negative value from the inscription!

You can start with the gold value, then add maybe 800 for the collectible watch- maybe more as its full set.

The set is very nice. I would say the 14K instead a 18K case affects much more the value than the signed back.
