I took my grandmother to yard sales yesterday and bought a box of old watches and watch parts, mostly junk, but bought the entire box for $10 and found this in the bottom. Its a ladies watch but is it worth anything. I can tell its dated but is there any value in this now. Besides two tiny scratches on the crystal its in perfect condition, the watch and band looks brand new.

That is a cool story.
I have one of these in different colour combo on bracelet. It was my first "real" watch mum got me in the early 90's.
No idea what they worth though.

I'd say change the battery and wear it for fun (I do that with mine sometimes)

well its a ladies watch and my wife wont wear it cause its orange. I'll take it down town to the watch maker. If I get $10 or $15 for it then I came out ahead.

Maybe it is considered a ladies watch by today's standard. But back in the early 90's, it was a men's watch, if not, def a more unisex type.

Maybe it's the orange colour....

I got one of these in the mid 80's. Still have it, but it doesn't work.

I replaced the strap several times and the bezel as well. The crystal looks OK in the photo, but it's actually all scratched up. Fun watch.

You might do O.K. on Ebay with it. I have one in front of me that is the smaller 374.508 ladies model. I'm hunting a black bezel for it. My opinion is maybe $50-$75 if it works

esm · 27 September 2010, 10:33 AM

This is my Tag. The crystal isn't too bad, for some reason it is looking abit foggy... and the plastic bezel is pretty scratched up.

I bought one on ebay a few years back for $250, you are right - it is small for a man's watch today. But with I got my first on in '88 - it was a beauty.

NikkiTyler · 30 September 2010, 11:58 AM

ok the one you have is a mid-size. I had one years ago. The also made smaller ones then the one you pictured. I'll post a pic.

NikkiTyler · 30 September 2010, 12:26 PM

here is some pictures that should give you a idea of the acual size of this watch.

ParisDakarBmw · 30 September 2010, 12:37 PM

That's the ladies model should have a number on the case back like my friends 374.508

NikkiTyler · 30 September 2010, 01:07 PM

I think this is older then.
