Morning all, and happy weekend!
I would like to sell these two beauties, they belonged to my grandfather. They are still on their original straps, I just don't wear them so they should go somewhere they'd be used and enjoyed :)
Frankly, I don't know much about selling watches, and ironically, feel rather time-poor at present so would like to try selling to good forum folk at forum friendly prices, if there's interest.
I'm happy to take pricing advice, and have only a vague sense of what each of these are worth. In fact, I'd really appreciate any input as to the value of these. Looks like the Longines go for £500-800 while the Eterna, being rarer, goes anywhere between £500-1100 - although I could very well be mistaken on either.
The Longines Calatrava is 9 carat gold, hallmarked, while the Eterna Matic is I believe 18 carat (although it might be 'gold capped' - and I'm not sure what that actually means,) but I honestly do not know
Happy to take more pics/measurements if interested, and viewings are very welcome (London E1) There are some shallow scratches, to both sapphire and case, which I'll photograph if there's any interest. The former look quite 'light' so perhaps will buff out with poly watch or the like, but I'm no expert.
Many thanks!
