  • I've been given two of my father's watches. Any idea of value for insurance purposes?

    The first is a Rolex Tudor Oyster Elegante steel 7960. The s/n is in the 280,000 range.

    The second is a gold plated Tissot. No markings on the case but would have been bought in the 60's.

    Ta.

  • Interesting! I sold an oyster very similar to that about 7 or 8 years ago, for WAAAAY less than it appears they are worth now.

    I also have one of those tissot seastars that I wore to my wedding. boxed and everything it as about £120. I think it is the solid gold ones that are quite rare and valuable. I will be stoked if it is now a £500 watch...

  • don't get too excited - he asked for insurance valuation not actual value. I'd discount 25% for a more realistic price

  • I've been trawling the nets and there are a couple of sites saying that you should hang on to the Elegantes.

    Their reasoning being that they weren't too popular at the time so now they are a bit rare.

    As for the Tissot. I'm assuming it's gold plated but might be wrong. Mum bought it for Dad on their first wedding anniversary. Cost £35 apparently.
