Re: Gold pocketwatch
what is your price?
Re: Gold pocketwatch
Hello!
Thank you for your interest in this 1890 heirloom. The average price for this Elgin would be $5,000, but since the bezel and crystal are missing, I will offer it to you at $3,800. Aside from that, it is in pristine shape.
Re: Gold pocketwatch
This is not a $5000 watch. I can't tell from the photos but it looks like the case is more likely gold plated than solid gold, I would need to see the hallmarks. It is also not in pristine shape, the case looks quite worn. Furthermore for a more accurate value the serial numbers off the watch movement are needed. With that said it looks like a standard mass produced watch at first glance and unless quite rare I'm afraid this is probably an under $250 watch unless the case is actually gold. Please post more info!
