Hello group,
I recently acquired this watch from a auction I won.
First off I wanted to find the age of it and it's worth
Second Is it worth having the dial cleaned as it seems to have some water staining on it.
Any information would be helpful. thanks in advance.

 

1950s

Worth what you paid, since that's what you paid.

Don't attempt to clean the dial.

 

In the rough condition it's in, its "worth'' about $700 here in Toronto. I have the same watch with a repainted dial. Cleaning the dial is up to you ... repainted dials are a no-no around here.

 

Thanks guys I am very happy to hear this at least it's not a fake and I think I can make a buck or two. I would be willing to sell it for $500 to the right guy.

 

That is not allowed here. Please read the sales rules. If it were up to me, fortunately it's not, you would politely be shown the door.

 

So you have just bought a watch, and come here to get info and sell it?!

 

Shocking, isn't it?

 

FIFY

To the OP, not the way to join a forum

 

Well, not most elegant entree. But who knows, Shawn may stay a while with us and share some real watch interest!

 

Counts me out then. I'm definitely not the right guy.

 

You guys are funny

 

I guess this response answers @François Pépin

 

We know. @efauser usually scores top-marks

 

I was trying to be nice, but happy to be funny as well!

I guess it will be the end of this post for me. Unless I can be funny again...

 

Rough crowd, I might stick around to learn a thing or two. Guess we'll have to see. This does seem to be an active form.

 

Nothing funny to say right now, but welcome!

 

You already shit the bed with your first two posts. Clean it up and we'll see.

 

Fair enough, apology for offending the group. Sorry
