Doc1647545523 Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 (edited) I've hung onto some jewelry far too long. This isn't the typical CR Valentine's Day gift, but if there's a chance to pass it on to someone I know, I'd rather do that than to sell it to a stranger. Girard-Perregaux watch I bought new in 1981. It's never had problems and has been cleaned and inspected three times in 30 years. It has a 17 jewel manual wind movement, serial #504-813. It has a solid 14k gold mesh wristband and clasp with a gold-filled chain guard. The case contains twenty-two round full cut diamond melee each weighing about .03 carats. The watch, without movement, weighs about 15.4 DWT. It's currently appraised by a graduate gemologist for $3,800. I would sell it to a CR member for $1990 I know, the photos suck, but no macro lens. I will gladly meet to show it to you in person if you're interested. If you would prefer bidding on eBay, it's a no reserve sale: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130481269219&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/photoshop4.jpg http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/bestoverall.jpg http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/photoshop2.jpg http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/betterclasp.jpg http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/claspclosed.jpg http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/diamondface.jpg Edited January 31, 2011 by Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotarded1647545491 Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Sure Doc, meet me in the alley between 17th and 18th, just east of Cleveland Avenue at midnight tonight. I'd like to take a look at it! Nice timepiece! Too bad I bought the wife a watch for Christmas. Good luck with the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Doc, that is a stunner!!! the band, the clasp, so elegant. I say keep it! Too nice!! you should list it on watchuseek.com... will sell in 12 hours. The gold in the band alone is worth it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
