·First of all, hello again. I've drifted away from my interest in watches in the last while, instead spending my disposable on records and hifi. I'm sure I'll come back to this hobby in due course.
Meanwhile, I'm interested in how watch aficionados view Concord watches.
To cut a long story short, I'm a trustee of a small charity and a supporter has given me a Concord Mariner SL, new, as a donation. He was given it by a wealthy client as a gift but has no use for it. So I will sell it and hand the proceeds over.
My question is, what might be the right asking price for such a watch? Can I reasonably expect 50%? 66%? 75% or even 90%? of the retail price?
I'm asking because until it came into my hands I wasn't aware of the brand. It appears to be a fairly uninspiring good quality Swiss quartz chronograph but I might be wrong - hopefully someone will tell me that it's a highly collectable mark with a strong following and the watches hold their prices very well.
This isn't a sales pitch. I'll probably list it in the appropriate forum in due course, but for now I would just really appreciate some expert insight.
Thank you
