Forgive me if I've not posted on the correct Board, as I'm not sure if my Dad's watch is Vintage or not. He bought it in the late 70's/early 80's I think . . . I believe it to be gold because of the Hallmarks on the bracelet and watch back.

Other than that, I'm pretty much clueless . . . it says Quartz 1430 on the casing, inbetween the marks.

I'd like to sell it, as there is no one in my family it is of use to sadly and was thinking a local auction house might be my best bet?

Any thoughts or guidance would be most appreciated, thank you.

 

friendly advice
watch the father should never be sold

if my father had left a watch that will be a treasure for me

I don't disagree Omegasaoud . . . but I have no children to leave it to, my only nephew isn't interested in it. His father, my brother - died some years ago.

I'd have to have the bracelet altered quite drastically, as it almost falls off my wrist. I've even considered that as an option . . . though I have no need of it as such.

It will be tucked away in a drawer, gathering dust and I think my Dad would rather someone use and enjoy it.

I have other special momento's to remember him by, which won't be going anywhere.

 

I respect your choice
it was just to make you think before .... ;-)

 

I have indeed, long and hard. But thank you Farid.

 

That watch is worth only a bit more than its weight in gold, as the reference is not particularly collectable. Seeing as the bracelet and case seem to be solid gold, I'd say the gold value will be satisfying nonetheless.

As long as you describe the watch well and take a lot of good quality pictures, Ebay should be an excellent place to sell it.

 

Thank you for your advice Modest_Proposal.

 

Call me old fashioned but I really love the style of this watch!
