anyone help here
Has anyone heard of an old watch company called Degado and if so can they offer me please some detail. Internet not coming up with anything much.
I’ve inherited an old non chrono version 17 jewels manual wind that’s a lovely rose gold and running most sweetly.
I want to know what I should cover it for insurance purposes.
Thanks in anticipation
Jim

A quick Google reveals not much as you say. I don't think you need to insure it specifically as the financial value doesn't look to be high.
Probably a Valjoux 7733/4 or Landeron 248 in a generic case made up by one of the hundreds of small makers of the 69s and 70s that gave up in the quartz revolution, depending on condition and style worth £300-600 I expect.
EDIT. If it’s sold gold case then it will be worth more obviously. Check EBay for asking prices for similar, maybe £1k ?

Here’s a link to “Benrus and Degado vintage watch” in my Dropbox:

There's not a lot of info on Mikrolisk.

I'm not sure there's a significant value there from an insurance perspective.
In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.
