Hello again! Just wanted to get an opinion... On a watch it come with box and papers they are asking 3500 plus tax... It is in rough condition

Dr.Atom · 5 March 2014, 12:59 PM

Here is the front of the watch...

Dr.Atom · 5 March 2014, 01:00 PM

Here is the back of it... The band is pretty rough... How much for a new band?

Dr.Atom · 5 March 2014, 01:03 PM

And the side of the watch...

Dr.Atom · 5 March 2014, 01:03 PM

How much for a complete over haul on this bad boy?

Art 1 · 5 March 2014, 01:04 PM

Not sure how they can call that excellent.

Old Expat Beast · 5 March 2014, 01:05 PM

The bezels on those aren't easy to restore and would look better with a new one after you've got the rest of the watch fixed up. Probably be an RSC job with new bezel, so factor that into your price. That's my opinion anyway.

Dr.Atom · 5 March 2014, 01:07 PM

how much would that run me? I want to get it for my mom...

Old Expat Beast · 5 March 2014, 01:09 PM

Easily over a Grand with a new bezel...I think... that's the platinum part isn't it? Probably best to keep looking.

Alcan · 5 March 2014, 01:09 PM

Could be an expensive overhaul. A new bezel for that watch is spendy.

Dr.Atom · 5 March 2014, 01:15 PM

Thanks guys! Im glad I asked the forum otherwise I would have made a poor decision!!!

Good price, but needs a serious overhaul. I would pass...

Only one rougharsed owner.

Hkspwrsche · 5 March 2014, 03:06 PM

Might look good after a rolex overhaul. That would bring you up to 3500+500 (cheaper with Rik) with no major parts. Already have papers. Maybe a macro of the bezel will help decide. I didn't see any gouges right off. What else is out there in the $4 k range?

That must have been worn by a very, very active woman.
