I have an old watch knocking about, was wondering if it had any value?



It says SCHAFFHAUSEN on the face below International watch Co. Also it is has not got it's original strap.

Thanks for any help.

I know it's not cheap tat, but what you just said doesn't mean a lot to me. tried searching online, but can't find an exact match. Most similar are manual wind.

There's a few other places if you get little response (although I've a feeling you wont)

http://www.iwc.com/forum/en/category/vintage-timep...

and

http://forums.watchuseek.com/f350/

I've no idea myself, but certainly looks worth investigating...

Cheers Luke, I have managed to register, but can't figure out where to put the post. It seems as a new member I can't see a lot of the forum sub sections??? Any sugestions? Or you could just cross post for me?? cheers.

Post in Watch Talk. It'll be worth a decent sum I suspect.

Cheers.

I have now had 'online' valuations/opinions as high as $3000! I'll probably keep it, although it is not to my taste.

Is that your Gallardo in your profile? Certainly, it doesn't go. But it is a lovely timepiece. When you first posted it, I thought "Nice!". Perhaps your taste will change over time and you'll regret selling it in 20 years' time...

It's my old Gallardo, sold it a couple of months ago. Will be getting another in a few months, prob a spider this time.

I didn't realise you were into watch's luke. I like watch's as much if not more than cars.

That is rather lovely, not something I would buy but if I inherited or was given it it would make a very nice elegant evening watch and far classier than my Rolex, Panerai or modern IWC.
