Anyone good at valuations?
Discussion
Hi
I have an old (1960's)? I think Longines ladies cocktail type watch. Its white gold with 38 diamonds (about 3mm diameter) around the strap. It has a very small strap and no spare links. I haven't any papers or box for it it was my Nan's. I have only ever worn it once and was thinking with Gold at a high price is it worth selling? The dilemma is its a shame for it to be dismantled and melted down so what about a jewellry auction? I took it to two Pawnbrokers - one offered me £500 for it, the other said it needed a specialist valuer. I can post a few pics if anyone's interested.
thanks

Unless they're incredibly rare, old watches rarely seem to top much more than about £500. If you're not desperate for the cash, then I'd hang onto it for sentimental reasons.
My Dad and I share my Grandad's Omega Constellation that my Gran got him for their 30th wedding anniversary in 1968. It's only stainless steel and you see gold versions going for around £300-500 on ebay, so I'd guess it's not worth a great deal.
The sentimental value however, is priceless.
