It was not my intention to come to this site
blind, not knowing anything about the watch. I have done a little research but just havent been able to find much. I also thought I stated the manufacturer but after looking through my old posts I see I did not. It is a Vacheron Constantin made in my estimation during 1938, the serial number I gave in my first post was from the inside of the case so that is obviously not the right one. The one on the movement is 438xxx, in 1935 they started 427000 and in 1940 went to 450000 so I am guessing it was made around 1935. What I cant find is what model it is, the rarity of it things like that. Someone in an earlier response said "a watch from a beloved uncle", I had never met the man and it has no sentimental value to me at all, I just dont want to pour a few hundred into a $50 watch. I have an all original 1940s Rolex Perpetual that I had restored and it wasnt cheap to have worked on and have parts found. I was hoping someone here would be able to give me a little background on it. Ive scoured different antique watch sites with no luck on anything that looks remotely like this one, Thanks for any help guys.

Dr Mamadou cannot see the picture. But if this is the value that interests you...
We don't discuss prices, here. Even more when a watch comes from a beloved uncle. Best, Nicolas
Hopefully the picture comes up this time :)
That was not my intention, I was more wanting to know if it would be worth restoring it. I would also just like a little info on it. The model, is it rare, things like that. I just tried posting and it seemed like it was going to let me put a pic but noth...
Sorry
Can't really tell much from the blurry picture posted. My feeling is that if you'd like to wear it as a family memento, then you should get it restored to working condition. Don't make the restoration decision based on rarity or value. Good luck. Daos
I am interested in more than value
As I stated in both posts, I am interested in the model of watch, manufacture dates, where it was made (where there different factories) I am going to get it taken care of either way. Its actually sitting in a box to go to the local watch guy, but when I ...
Robert, it would be more helpful for members here
If you could give more info. For example, from your pics, I can 't even tell the brand/manufacture written on the dial. Your better pics don ' t show Quite honestly the local watch guy should have given you the information you needed because most of it wi...

Let me put it this way, Robert . . .
. . . that was never a $50 watch, even when first sold. You can safely assume there's sufficient residual value that would justify servicing, and by Vacheron, if necessary. Cordially, Art PS - could you post your query on our Vacheron Contantin forum? The...
