Not sure

[Slow]

Got offered this watch for free. Not sure if it's real/worth taking. Any help appreciated.

Why was it free?

Was it in exchange for something? If not, why not accept it if the owner said you could have it?

(not suggesting its a fake and someone has not given you a watch worth xxxx for free)

Step mum and dad just had it Lieing round the house and I pointed it out. They said I could have it if I want as nether of them wear watches.

It's pretty scratched and needs a little bit of tlc. If it's fake I don't see the point as it's a women's watch.

Why would you like it?

For monetary values to sell on or would you keep it as its a gift as a memory?

For me I would keep it… My father has a few watches that he does not appreciate (time served at work watches) most are stored in safety deposit box or safe and not used and if I got them I would never sell even though I could probably get 4-5 figures a watch.

A watch is supposed to be used.

They don't want/care about it nor any potential value. Don't have any woman in my life so it's kind of useless personally. Think it's a woman's watch at least. Would be sold towards funding a car.

If thats the case I would offer to get it appraised for them before and after fixing, then let them take the proceeds, my take on it is simple, if they have a watch that they don't want, yet if they give to you but all you would do is sell, I would give to them the the proceeds of the watch as you are not acting as custodian for it.

Well first of all, do we reckon it's real or not?

Google the model # on the caseback and it should tell you all you need to know.

Making assumptions from photos is very risky but the model reference on the back of the watch is for this model:



Not looking good I'm afraid...

Thought it would be a fake, they both visit china a lot on
