is it a fake?
had a jeweler look at my ladies presidential purchased on 1989. Model 69178.
I had John Bull replace the champagne face with a blue diamond face at that time. The jeweler states that the dial is an "aftermarket" but I can find nothing to substantiate that claim. I also was told that the sales reciept should say "blue vignette" however sadly the receipt I have says "champagne diamond dial" obviously it was not rewritten.UGH! 22 years later I feel like I was screwed by John Bull. What type of resale would I then expect on the watch if everything else is legit? |

I am not expert enough to say anything specific but I suggest you to post some clear shots of the face of the watch to start with.
I guess you did not ask back the champagne dial when you swapped in the blue dial, right? |

Welcome to the Forum!
The receipt, or certificate (if that is what you are referring to), would only have a reference of the dial that came with the watch originally. If you have the original certificate referencing the dial, it should also have the serial number. Make sure that it matches the case of the watch. You can search the for sale forums and or Ebay to get an idea what some of the asking prices are. |
