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 will be stamped or written inside the case back. An inspection of the movement, looking at any stamping, will also give you an idea of who and when the movement was made (since movement manufactures, case manufactures, and retail branding are most likely not one and the same).

I'd take it to another more "credible" watch guy, maybe someone who is a member of NAWCC and I would make it a point to be present while he opens the back of the watch. Take better photos and look very closely.

If the manufacture of the watch is still around (and there are also internet databases freely available) you can track down the approx dates.

Best, Mike

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

By: blgrnt1 : May 17th, 2013-00:38

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 ...

It was not my intention to come to this site

By: blgrnt1 : May 17th, 2013-11:00

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 esti...

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...
