Dunhill Help ?

[d2ore]

Good Afternoon All


Can anyone help on a value on a watch please ?

http://dreamwatches.blogspot.com/200...-movement.html

My friend is wanting to invest in a broken one ?

I’ve never heard of it but he likes it and he says it’s worth £10 k ?

I’ve never heard of it ? He also says it’s solid 18 k white gold so worth £3 k just in scrap


I just can not see it even if it was limited to 250 built


Please help

I've gently favoured Dunhills for years. The most recent ones with JLC movements may well command a premium at some distant time in the future, but ETA powered stuff just gently declines - and that's the really nice facets, not the 'ironic' stuff. I wouldn't unless you really really like the watch itself. Otherwise, wait and get a nice facet. At least you'll end up with a classic design with a bit of history.

It may well be worth 10K to him, but he's going to be one of very few who would value it that way. Broken I doubt it's worth more than the weight in gold. Even working I doubt it's much more.

I would very much doubt if there is that much scrap value in it. He isn't, perchance, basing that on the weight of the entire watch including the movement?

Thank you as I suspected
