Reply to Where to get old wristwatches appraised? by mattzees

Appraised? Nowhere. Fair market value.

David Cooper at Watch & Pen is a good option for refurb/repairs. Does competent work on luxury watches. Call ahead to confirm hours/availability. Clockworks is an option as well but I've had less luck there. Authorized dealers usually mail out, so you can cut out the middle main by mailing your watch to an authorized service center. Or mail it to a reputable repair shop.

I might be interested in the Seamaster if you haven't already received a dozen DMs about it.

Edit: search eBay (completed/sold) and chrono24 to learn about valuation. Of course, a serviced watch with original (or OEM) parts is worth more, stuff like lume and dial refinishing and a quality case polishing/brushing will help. Case material (stainless steel, 14k yellow gold, etc.) Makes a huge difference. So valuation varies immensely and is often more about who wants it when than a set intrinsic value. Best wishes!

I wasn’t aware that CPA’s needed to fly the pride flag to be adept at cheating the IRS?! I’ve got a fierce midget-porn thing going on, but I’m only concerned with my accountant keeping me out of an audit for cheating on my taxes, he’s probably not accepting of my midget-porn lifestyle, but I hope it has some line-item deductions involved /s
