Dear all, I’m evaluating to buy this 168.019 day date with grand soleil dial.
Quick questions for you guys:
What do you things about the scratch on the dial at 5? This scratch decrease value?
Which is quotation in your opinion?
Many thanks for anyone would like to support me!

 

Hi, yes a scratch on the dial does detract a bit of value. Does it look like a battle scar? That would help its value, but just a flub or flake of paint is a good reason to negotiate a bit. That just makes sense, right? Its less aesthetically pleasing so worth a slight percentage less than if it was mint.

Thats my view of how anyone would shop for a vintage watch. Condition is everything- exterior, dial, hands, movment inside- its all important.

I would wonder how the scratch got there. Mall kiosk service? What else was done inside the watch due to lack of knowledge or butterfingers? The scratch could just be a stand alone blemish, or it could be a sign of more problems under the hood
